Ten (2011)

A tropical depression formed from a tropical wave in the eastern tropical Atlantic just after midnight UTC on 25 August 2011, about 350 nautical miles west‑southwest of the southern Cape Verde Islands. The system moved generally west‑northwestward to northwestward while remaining a small, short‑lived cyclone. It weakened to a remnant low by 0000 UTC 27 August and lost its closed circulation soon after, dissipating over the far eastern tropical Atlantic on 27 August.

The system never strengthened into a tropical storm or hurricane, so it made no landfalls. It remained well east of any land throughout its lifetime, and no tropical cyclone watches or warnings were required.

Maximum intensity for the cyclone was sustained winds of 30 knots (about 35 mph) with a minimum central pressure of 1006 mb, recorded near the time of formation on 25 August. Its official classification remained a tropical depression for most of its short life.

Because the system stayed over open water and was weak, there were no measurable storm surge reports. No significant rainfall totals or flooding were reported on land; precipitation and surge impacts were not observed at named cities or counties.

There were no reported deaths or damage associated with the depression. The system’s development was not highly anticipated: it was first given only a low chance of development about 36 hours before formation, with the probability raised to high only about 6 hours prior to genesis.
