Where's Storm Alert?

Is TD 3 that tropical wave that was being watched closely?

I still can't believe TD 2 formed into Ana, but it's path looks like it might run into land and weaken it some before it reaches the U.S...I'm not sure. Doesn't it's path look similar to another storm's, though? I can't quite think of which, but I guess truthfully, a lot of storms follow the same path.

Where's Storm Alert?

Is TD 3 that tropical wave that was being watched closely?

Yes. Its expected to really strengthen. NHC has the forecast strength over the next 5 days up to a Cat2

Models with TS Ana are all over the place right now.

IMO, I think it's gonna track further south towards land and remain weak until it gets between the Bahamas and Cuba.

[TWCToday]

Lastest GFS model update shows Ana crossing over Florida, reforming in gulf. TD3 is shown brushing the Carolinas http://bit.ly/3Zgkvv

Tropical Depression 3 will not be updated....Tropical Storm Bill!

Finally! Some action! But look at who's in the cone for Ana.

[Localonthe8s]

Yep it's about to see some action. The tropical wave in the Caribbean has a potential to develop into Claudette but it's not very likely. Could bill, if it forms, hit the Northeast?

Right now, it's forecasted to go on the same path as Ana towards FL.

[toxictwister00]

00z run of the GFS takes potential "Hurricane Bill" near Miami,FL (similar to Andrew) weakens, intensifies and makes a second landfall into the FL Panhandle.

That's nowhere near Miami, that's right just where Frances and Jeanne made landfall.

Now I'm really doomed.

[Localonthe8s]

Zach, the storm hasn't even formed yet. Don't make premature conclusions.
