Gulf Depression Strengthens as Storm Surge Watch Reaches Four States

This development arrives two days after I reported on the failure of the GOES-19 satellite, leaving Atlantic hurricane monitoring dependent on an aging backup system just as this second depression of the season organizes over open water.
