Gaston is expected to gradually intensify over the next few days as it heads slowly westward. We have a lot of time to watch this one develop. This storm makes it four tropical storms now in the last 11 days. I'm telling you there's a proverbial light switch for the tropics that Mother Nature turned on a couple weeks ago.
Update: Well, this forecast went wrong. Instead of gradually intensifying, Gaston has lost its center of circulation and most of its convection. It has degenerated into a remnant low. No more advisories will be issued on this storm. The remnants may have a chance to regenerate into Gaston again, but it'll need to regain a lot to be considered a tropical cyclone again.
