Tropical Depression 4 Forms in Gulf of Mexico. Tropical Storm Warnings Up for NE Gulf
11:27 AM 16-Aug EDT

10:45 AM EDT Update Aug 16

TD#4 remains that way for 11AM, the National Hurricane Center is waiting on a recon flight to make any further upgrade decisions.

If it misses the first landfall opportunity this afternoon, then it will likely landfall in the Evening. 50-55MPH winds in that case, still under Hurricane Force. I wouldn't go out in that weather tonight.

9:40 AM EDT Update Aug 16

TD#4 is likely to be upgraded to a Tropical Storm at 11. However based on the current forward motion on Radar it may landfall as early as 2PM (1PM CDT) today or more likely sometime this evening.
