I'm actually excited about this. I might get to see my first tropical action of the year, and thankfully its only a minor storm, so damage or loss of life shouldn't be an issue.  :dance:

Wish some of that rain came here. Although we're not in a drought, we could use some more rain. The last time we had any significant rain or wind from a hurricane was probably Isabel back in 2003. When it came through my area on September 19, my school was closed due to power outages.

They're also watching a strong tropical wave in the western Caribbean. It's expected to become a Tropical Depression in the next day or two, and make it's way into the gulf. At this point it looks like it could have much more impact to the US, so this one is definitely something to monitor. :yes:

A STRONG TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED IN THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA IS
PRODUCING THUNDERSTORMS AND STRONG WINDS WITH GUSTS ABOVE TROPICAL
STORM FORCE.  AN AIR FORCE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT IS CURRENTLY
INVESTIGATING THE SYSTEM TO DETERMINE IF IT HAS A CLOSED
CIRCULATION.  ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR THIS
SYSTEM TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION WITHIN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO
AS IT MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 15 TO 20 MPH.  REGARDLESS OF
DEVELOPMENT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS WILL AFFECT JAMAICA...PORTIONS OF
CUBA...AND THE CAYMAN ISLANDS TODAY AND TOMORROW.  INTERESTS IN THE
NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE YUCATAN PENINSULA SHOULD
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM.
