Ingrid formed about the same place that most September storms start... out in the Atlantic, over the warm waters to the East of the Antilles...

TROPICAL DEPRESSION 8
Tropical Depression Eight is west northwest in the Atlantic; about 930 miles east of the Lesser Antilles.

Environmental conditions over this area due support some slow development, and this system could become a tropical storm (named Ingrid) later today.

Overnight Thursday Tropical Depression Eight was upgraded to Tropical Storm Ingrid. This makes for the ninth named storm of the 2007 season.

As of early this morning, Ingrid was located about 800 miles east of the Lesser Antilles; Maximum winds were at 40 mph.

Ingrid continues to move very slowly toward the west northwest, and at this speed and direction it will be nearing the northern part of the Lesser Antilles by late Tuesday. Until then, some slow strengthening is possible, but it is of no threat to land at this time

I was away from my computer over the weekend, so I didn't follow the progression... but on Monday morning, it seemed that Ingrid was still a depression... and falling apart.  The final notice was issued at 5AM Pacific time.

Tropical Depression Ingrid is dissipating east-northeast of Antigua in the Lesser Antilles. The remnant low pressure may bring a few showers and breezy conditions to the Virgin Islands over the next day or two.

Ingrid, as of 5 am Eastern time, was centered about 120 miles east-northeast of the Antigua, and moving toward the west at 9 miles per hour. Ingrid is expected to continue to dissipate.
