When is that next "area of interest" in the Atlantic expected to make landfall? I don't know all the ins & outs of weather forcasting but I do understand that there are many factors that make prediction difficult at best. What is the soonest it could reach Florida (or wherever it is most likely aimed)? How likely is it to go north or south? Thanks.

One poster earlier showed a model that shows a second hurricane hitting LA again later this week. Not sure how much validity it has, but if want to check it out, you can find it here.

This discussion is from the NHS:

A 1009 MB LOW IS CENTERED BETWEEN ANDROS ISLAND IN THE BAHAMAS AND THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF FLORIDA NEAR 26N79W DRIFTING TO THE NW. THE CENTER OF CIRCULATION IS NOT THAT WELL-DEFINED IN MIAMI RADAR IMAGERY BUT THE OVERALL CIRCULATION APPEARS TO BE BECOMING A LITTLE STRONGER IN SATELLITE IMAGERY. DEEP CONVECTION IS BECOMING A LITTLE MORE CONSOLIDATED ESPECIALLY N OF THE CENTER AND WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO 25 KT AT FREEPORT AND SETTLEMENT POINT BAHAMAS. SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION FROM 24N-28N BETWEEN 74W-80W INCLUDING OVER GREAT ABACO...GRAND BAHAMA... ANDROS...AND NEW PROVIDENCE ISLANDS AND MOVING WWD TOWARDS THE FLORIDA COAST. THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT NW BENEATH AN UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONE AND BE NEAR OR OVER FLORIDA DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. TROPICAL CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE NEXT 36 HRS IF THE SYSTEM REMAINS OVER WATER.

Too early to get alarmed about anything. Besides, nautinurse needs a break!

Too early to get alarmed about anything.

I'm afraid Katrina has spawned a multitude of tropical storm alarmists. Good heavens, there was a thread posted today for a low pressure system. Those of us who follow the storms because our lives and property depend upon it are still watching the weather as always. If a system develops, it will not be overlooked. However, there is no need to be alarmed for every tropical wave that forms out there.
