Current Status
At 10AM CDT, Tropical Depression Bonnie was located near 28.0 N/86.7W, or about 170 miles east-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River. Bonnie is moving to the west-northwest at 17 mph. The maximum sustained winds have decreased to 30 mph, mainly to the north of the center. Wind shear continues to affect Bonnie, which has prevented any strengthening overnight.
Changes From Our Previous Forecast
Bonnie is now forecast to make landfall as a tropical depression instead of a tropical storm.
Other Possibilities
The persistent wind shear may cause Bonnie to degenerate into a tropical wave before it reaches the Louisiana coast.
