No TD-6 or Fay just yet
The hurricane hunters went to investigate a system located generally over the Virgin Islands, and although they found winds well within tropical depression range, they did not yet find a closed circulation. However, conditions are only going to get better for this thing to develop and so it's worth keeping an eye on.
Although track forecasts are notoriously unpredictable before a closed circulation develops, early indications find that it could affect anyone from Virginia Beach all the way to South Padre, but especially the Bahamas and Florida, depending on how straight the track is. One track has it hitting the Florida/Alabama line, which would be ideal to relieve some of the north Georgia drought (which is slowly getting worse again)!
I would not be surprised if we found TD-6, or even Fay, to develop by 8 PM or 11 PM (when they release advisories).
Names coming up...Fay, Gustav, Hanna
Olympics update: I am totally obsessed with the Olympics which makes it even more difficult as it's online and on TV 24 hrs/day. Apparently everyone else is obsessed as well considering that NBC's ratings have equaled all other networks combined. This is probably in large part due to the fact that, except for the period between noon and 8 PM EDT, most events are shown live due to some negotiations with the Organizing Committee to have marquee events take place in the morning to compensate for the 12 hour time difference.
The US is currently in 2nd place in the medal count after China cleaned up yesterday in all things taking place at the Water Cube.
