Tropical Depression #5 of the 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season has formed in the Central Gulf of Mexico. Current forecast tracks take the system somewhere between Caillou Bay, Louisiana, and Pensacola, Florida. Intensity forecasts are still spread thin, but as of now, the official forecast calls for a minimal tropical storm. The system shouldn’t have much time to organize further before making landfall sometime tomorrow.

There is a slight chance that the system could “double-back” and re-enter the Gulf somewhere around Destin over the course of the next few days. Stay tuned for further updates on this potential situation. Should conditions warrant, the Alabama Storm Trackers will possibly be in the field for this system.

On a sad note, the rest of the members of the organization extend our deepest sympathies to the Adair Family. Brett’s wife lost her sister over the weekend at a very young age. Our thoughts and prayers are with their family during this awful time.
