The fourteenth tropical depression of the Atlantic Ocean hurricane
season formed in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean on Friday, Sept. 28,
bringing three active storms in the Atlantic in one week. Hurricane
Lorenzo just made landfall in eastern Mexico, and tropical depression
Karen is fizzling in the central Atlantic. At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Sept.
28, Tropical Depression #14 (TD#14) was located near 14.1 degrees north
latitude and 26.5 degrees west longitude, or about 210 miles southwest
of Africa's Cape Verde Islands.
The depression is moving toward the west near 7 mph. This general motion
should continue today with a gradual turn to the northwest on Saturday,
Sept. 29. TD#14's maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph with higher
gusts. Some strengthening is possible during the next 24 hours. TD#14's
minimum central pressure is 1008 millibars.

Environmental Satellite (GOES-12), which is operated by the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It was created by NASA's GOES
Project, located at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.
It shows all three tropical cyclones.
