Tropics Heat up
1) Debby is official. It's a 50 mph storm as of 11 AM today. The advisories only come out every 6 hours because it's so far away from land. It's headed out to see eventually, but there is a chance it could affect land if it misses a ride around a ridge. Apparently the weaker Debby is the more chance it has to hit US land due to different steering currents....
2) However, there is a healthy tropical wave that the Hunters are going to investigate tomorrow. It's down by the Windward Islands, but could organize & head into the gulf. This would be Ernesto. This poses a much greater threat to the U.S. than anything else. I'm sure New Orleanians will be watching this closely (in addition to Tampa, Houston, Mobile, etc.).
3) Finally, TD-12 formed a year ago today. For those not in the know, this eventually turned into Tropical Storm...and then CAT 5 Hurricane Katrina.
On a decidedly non-tropical note, I'm off to Canada tomorrow night (well Vermont, then Canada Friday midday). I'm starting to feel rested and very excited. All is confirmed as well. It's supposed to range from the 50's to the 70's during that time period. That's going to feel COLD!
UPDATE: The Wave 325 miles away from the Windward Islands (the ones towards South America) is getting its act together & could be a depression by tomorrow...possibly even Ernesto. This is scary because it would then go into the Caribbean. More updates as they come in.
