Good day,

You would expect the one east of the Antillies in the Atlantic to develop - And it did, and TD#8 (most likely soon to be Humberto) has formed.

In the Gulf, 91L is just way too close to land, once it has a name, it will be on shore, but TD #9 has formed from it as well.

Let's have a race and see which depression becomes a named storm first - Bets anyone?

I say TD9 gets the name first. It poses the most imminent threat to land (big rainstorm) and once the hurricane hunters get in there I think they will find a TS.
