After a brief pause in tropical activity, another system formed Wednesday in the Caribbean and will likely become Tropical Storm Nate, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Tropical Depression 16 is located about 210 miles south-southeast of Cabo Gracias a Dios on the border of Nicaragua and Honduras, the weather service said in its 11 a.m. ET advisory.

The system has sustained winds of about 35 mph, moving northwest at 7 mph, and "is expected to become a tropical storm later today or tonight."

"On the forecast track, the depression should be nearing the coast of Nicaragua early Thursday, move across northeastern Nicaragua and eastern Honduras late Thursday, and emerge into the northwestern Caribbean Sea on Friday," the NHC said.

Any possible impact from the storm on the United States is not yet clear, but the NHC's forecast cone shows it may approach the eastern Gulf Coast near the Florida panhandle as a hurricane by Sunday.

This system is headed for very warm waters.

I have added Louisiana-Mississippi-Alabama to this thread. Hopefully Texas will not be in the target areas.

And that was just fine with me.

It wasn't fine for people living on Eastern Long Island in the thirties. The weather service knew there was a hurricane but had it forecast to stay offshore. Instead, LI took a direct hit from what came to be called the Long Island Express. They started the day with calm weather and were fighting for their lives by afternoon.

:It wasn’t fine for people living on Eastern Long Island in the thirties.”

That forecast, Sunday 8:00AM, shows a direct hit on New Orleans.

Let's hope they got the overdue parts for the broken flood pumps.

"It wasn't fine for people living on Eastern Long Island in the thirties."

Your post, reminded me of the night (must have been 1961) that I slept the night in the Montauk Point cemetery.

I was in submarine school over in New London, Connecuit and was persuaded to take the ferry over for a 'night on the town' there. I wasn't told that we took the last ferry of the day.

It is now Hurricane Nate. Methinks we need one of your special hurricane threads now.
