A low pressure system formed from a tropical wave about 665 miles (1075 km) west of the southwesternmost Cape Verde Islands and developed into a tropical depression on September 30. The depression moved to the northwest, reaching a peak strength of 35 mph (55 km/h) and minimum central pressure of 1,006 mbar (29.7 inHg) on October 1. It experienced strong shear, began to dissipate, and the NHC discontinued advisories the next day. Nineteen dissipated without strengthening to a tropical storm and never threatened any land, so no warnings or watches were issued.

Famous quotes containing the words tropical, depression and/or nineteen:
“Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder sometimes:
A thing, as the Bellman remarked,
That frequently happens in tropical climes
When a vessel is, so to speak, “snarked.””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“The term clinical depression finds its way into too many conversations these days. One has a sense that a catastrophe has occurred in the psychic landscape.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
“If a playwright tried to see eye to eye with everybody, he would get the worst case of strabismus since Hannibal lost an eye trying to count his nineteen elephants during a snowstorm while crossing the Alps.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
