Tropical wave 43 is centered near 14N/72W this morning. The wave is moving to the west-northwest at 12-15 mph. By Thursday, the wave should be moving into the northwest Caribbean Sea. Development chances go up significantly by then, as high pressure to the north across the eastern U.S. blocks any northward movement and pushes the wave west-northwestward and into the south-central Gulf of Mexico on Saturday. Once in the Gulf of Mexico, there would be a very good chance that this wave could develop into a tropical storm or a hurricane.
It's way too early to predict a landfall location with any amount of confidence, but early indications are that the area most at risk would be from northern Mexico to central Louisiana. The earliest possible impact on deepwater drilling areas off the mid Louisiana coast would be late Saturday afternoon or Saturday evening as some squalls could be reaching those areas by then. We estimate that the chances for tropical development in the southern Gulf of Mexico by Friday/Saturday are in the 50-60 percent range.

It's been a rough couple of years down here.
Are you anywhere near the coast?

looks like LA is the new Florida when it comes to amount of storms in a particular season
Florida had 4 last year...maybe LA trying to beat the Florida record.

This year was forecasted to yield an abnormally high number of tropical storms and hurricanes.
I doubt we're done... Would hate to hear about "Hurricane Gamma"!

Not that Hurrican Quxyz is a great name, but why don't they use the letters Q, U, X, Y and Z to name hurricanes??

They are welcome to the record..........

They don't have to be there. It is done through the Mother Al-Sheehanistani ship via remote control beeber.

I think we should resurrect the BUSHWHACKED term and set its definition to the control of hurricanes by the evil President Bush and his Cheney/Rove/Halliburton henchmen to destroy the USA's oil infrastructure and the people who were so stupid as to build at or below sea level in hurricane prone areas.

AH. That makes sense. Though, given a few minutes, I think I could come up with at least 10 years worth of names for each of those letters. Maybe ...

This whole thing was a plot to get the poor to abandon the prime real estate of the coast so that the BIG CONDO CONSTRUCTION companies who support Bush and Cheney will make billions...........
