FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON TROPICAL

SCOTIA.

A VIGOROUS TROPICAL WAVE OVER THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS HAS
BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED OVERNIGHT... WITH SLOWLY FALLING SURFACE
PRESSURES AND MORE CONCENTRATED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE... AND A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION COULD FORM TODAY OR ON SATURDAY AS IT MOVES TOWARD THE
WEST-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 20 MPH. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE UNIT
RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM THIS
AFTERNOON... IF NECESSARY. INTERESTS IN AND NEAR THE NORTHERN
LEEWARD ISLANDS... THE VIRGIN ISLANDS... PUERTO RICO... AND
HISPANIOLA SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM.

A WESTWARD-MOVING TROPICAL WAVE IS LOCATED ABOUT 900 MILES
EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY REMAINS LIMITED... AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION
AT THIS TIME.

ELSEWHERE... TROPICAL STORM FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH
SATURDAY.

FORECASTER KNABB


This makes for interesting reading...

Yea, I have to admit that I was a little surprised when I read that as well. Still, the NHC are the experts and there's gotta be something there. It'll be interesting to see what happens with this storm today. The first visible shots should be along soon.

I can't believe I am up at this hour. What about sleep? Anyway the tropical update on the TWC confirmed that a plane was going to investigate area today. I guess we will have to sit back and wait and see. I just hope we find out before I have to leave this afternoon.
