The depression was moving toward the west near 14 mph (22 kph). That is about 1,000 miles (1,610 km) west-northwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.
EDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Vicky was located near latitude 21.4 degrees north and longitude 38.2 degrees west.
The NHC indicated that vertical wind shear of 40 to 50 knots is forecast to continue plaguing Vicky and the cyclone should continue to weaken and become a remnant low later today.Īt 11 a.m. Wind shear, that is, outside winds blowing at different directions at different levels in the atmosphere are battering Vicky. These winds have caused the remaining convection to be stripped well away from the center, and recent ASCAT (a scatterometer instrument that measures winds) data indicates that Vicky has weakened to a tropical depression.” 17, “Vicky is feeling the effects of very strong upper-level winds associated with the outflow of Hurricane Teddy. The image showed a swirl of wispy clouds around the low-level center with the bulk of clouds pushed far to the east-northeast of the center.ĭan Brown, a Senior Hurricane Specialist at NOAA’s National Hurricane Center in Miami, Fla. EDT (1325 UTC), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument aboard NASA’s Terra satellite provided a visible image of Vicky in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean. The image showed a swirl of wispy clouds around the low-level center with the bulk of clouds pushed far to the east-northeast of the center.
EDT (1325 UTC), the MODIS instrument aboard NASA’s Terra satellite provided a visible image of Vicky in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean. Vicky looked like a wispy ring of clouds on visible satellite imagery and nearby Hurricane Teddy is not helping. Any precipitation had been pushed far to the northeast from wind shear. NASA’s Terra satellite found Vicky to be a shadow of its former self, devoid of precipitation around its low-level center. 17, 2020 – NASA Finds a Fading Wispy Tropical Depression Vicky
