Tracking Map for Tropical Depression 10
September 17 - Tropical Depression Ten formed from the interaction between an upper-level low, a tropical wave that produced Tropical Storm Ingrid, and the tail end of a cold front. The system produced widespread thunderstorms over the Bahamas and western Atlantic Ocean.
September 18-19 - The system started across Florida, which was initially very disorganized, surface pressures gradually decreased across the region forming a weak low pressure area by September 19.
September 20 - A Hurricane Hunters aircraft reported a well defined low with strong gusts tracking northeast through the Gulf of Mexico with thunderstorm activity.
September 21 - the National Hurricane Center initiated advisories on Subtropical Depression Ten in the early afternoon when it was located 40 miles (60 km) south of St. Vincent Island, Florida.
September 22 - The cyclone continued its northwestward track, making landfall around midnight near Fort Walton Beach, Florida with winds of 35 mph (55 km/h). It became increasingly disorganized as it tracked into Alabama and dissapated as a tropical cyclone early in the day.
September 23 - Its remnant surface low continued west-northwest before dissipating near the Louisiana/Texas border.

Watch vs Warning - Know the Difference
A HURRICANE WATCH issued for your part of the coast indicates the possibility that you could experience hurricane conditions within 36 hours. This watch should trigger your family's disaster plan, and protective measures should be initiated, especially those actions that require extra time such as securing a boat, leaving a barrier island, etc.
A HURRICANE WARNING issued for your part of the coast indicates that sustained winds of at least 74 mph are expected within 24 hours or less. Once this warning has been issued, your family should be in the process of completing protective actions and deciding the safest location to be during the storm.
