Tropics Heating Up...

* Satellite images really make me believe that there is a tropical depression in the works for the southern Gulf of Mexico. The cluster of storms is currently in the Caribbean Sea, but will continue to move west, eventually ending up in the southern Gulf. The system seems to be getting better organized.

* The National Hurricane Center will be sending a hurricane hunter aircraft to investigate this system tomorrow. Once we get their data, we'll have a much better idea of what this system will do.

* INTERESTING model output from the MM5 model from Florida State University. This panel is valid 7 AM Wednesday morning, and shows a well developed tropical system making landfall along the Alabama Gulf Coast. This solution is certainly not out of the question:

FSU MM5 Model Valid 7 AM Wednesday

* Never a dull moment!
