SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT THE TROPICAL WAVE AND ASSOCIATED LOW PRESSURE AREA LOCATED ABOUT 250 MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS COULD BE DEVELOPING INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER WILL INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM EARLY THIS AFTERNOON TO CONFIRM IF A DEPRESSION HAS FORMED. WATCHES AND WARNINGS MAY BE REQUIRED FOR PORTIONS OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS...AND ALL INTERESTS IN THAT AREA SHOULD BE READY TO TAKE QUICK ACTION...IF NECESSARY. REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT... HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL SPREAD OVER THE WINDWARD ISLANDS LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. $$

Still a ways away and does not have an punch...
It is not far off Chavez's Venezuela right now... (Landmass to the West)
Quick, turn on the Weather Channel, break out the generator and make sure it has plenty of fuel, go to the store and clear the shelves of bottled water and canned food, buy Deep Homo out of plywood and blue tarps.
Watching.
WE’ER ALL GONNA DIE AGAIN!
Well, that settles it. I’m going to stay home and not go to work on Monday.
The hurricane wishcasters having been puffing and blowing all week trying to get this blob of thunderstorms blow’d up into a tropical cyclone. Here it is almost the peak of the season and we’ve only had Dean to report on. They’re getting desperate.
Not that I would wish hurricanes on anyone outside the Middle East, but I am glad to see at least someone besides the gulf coast is going to share in the fun.
I saw a cloud on the way to work this morning. Should I be concerned?
Exactly! Not to say we couldn't have some sever storms yet develop, but this is two years in a row with drastic pre-season predictions yet few results.
It seems to me they're showing themselves to be little better that typical weather forecasters :)
Not as long as you didn’t see a hand reaching out!!
But according to Algore, this global warming catastrophe will bring about some of the worst severe weather in recorded history. Hmmmmmm.
Could it be, could it really be, that the great seer and mystic Al Gore has been misinformed? Oh the hugh manatee.
Its easy for somebody up in NH to joke about things like Hurricanes.
Those of us with property along the coast like to keep an eye on things - just in case.
Most of us who follow the Hurricane threads checked our emergency supplies at the start of the season. For most it was just a rotation and update from the winter ice/snow storm supplies.
Have a nice day.
dry dusty air to the north is keeping the system from gaining much traction.....something to watch for the weekend however
Algore a scamming opportunist trying desperately to stay out of the totally irrelevent yearbook? Perish the thought!
We’re DOOOOOOOMMMMMEEEEEDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It probably packs winds of 20mph to 30mph, so we really need to pay attention! [ /sarcasm off ]
I thought he was already in the book. Silly me.
Shows that there are 4 Atlantic floaters and 2 East Pacific floaters (in terms of Satellites).
Both East Pacific Satellite floaters are in use -- for TS Gil and TS Henriette... The Atlantic does not have much...
