Where did you get this information from?  It's not on NHC's website yet. :dunno:

Our internal server information feed. Check Twitter, most stations are reporting on it.

I checked feeds on Twitter concerning TD-13, as well, and the SKYWARNAL Storm and Hurricane Center broke first on Twitter.

NHC isn't reporting it. None of the stations that I am looking at are reporting it...

Don't say I didn't tell you so when the map is updated.

Austin, even if you're right, we don't know anything about its forecast, intensity, or track yet!  I would rather that everyone wait until the only official source, the National Hurricane Center, puts out the first advisory before creating a topic about it.

I didn't say it wasn't true, I said that the NHC hadn't reported it.

I think there was a problem like this before, and I was involved in it. Austin, just a friendly reminder that until the National Hurricane Center makes a public announcement saying that Tropical Depression 13 has formed (that means internal feeds and servers don't count), we don't have a tropical depression. The National Hurricane Center is the ONLY weather center that can declare a tropical depression. Not anyone else.

You're seeming a bit rude about this, Austin. We had no idea, and were just going by what the NHC said. You don't have to have an attitude about it...

Anyway, TS Warning in effect from LA/TX border to MS/AL border. Expected to stay as a storm, and make landfall in south-central LA.

Right now, the track has TD 13 heading northeast. Although the track is very uncertain at this point, I really wish it would head northwest to Texas. We desparately need the rain! <_<

Austin, it appears to me that you were trying to brag by being the first to spread the news, which is a dangerous pursuit and the reason why you received the criticism.  You should be waiting until the first NHC advisory is issued to show some credibility as a meteorologist before posting online.  Then, you can give us far more valuable information than just saying a new depression has formed like the following:

Tropical Depression #13 8:00 PM EDT Advisory
----------------------------------------------------------------
Location:  26.6°N, 91.4°W (about 225 miles SW of the mouth of the Mississippi River)
Maximum Sustained Winds:  35 mph
Movement:  NW at 6 mph
Minimum Central Pressure:  1007 mb

It screws TX unfortunately, but at least it would still be bringing drought relief to other areas in the South so it's not a total loss or waste of rainfall.

I have to comment on the projected path once again for this system because, other than the pretty definite path defined over the next 24 hours or so, the rest is just a big circle. I guess this is really going to be a hard storm to forecast.
