TD4 and Maybe More!




Right on schedule, the tropics have awakened and a pulse of activity is about to begin. Tropical Depression 4 should soon be upgraded to a tropical storm (Dean) and eventually a hurricane as it nears the Caribbean Sea. It is too early to say where this storm might end up, but a visit to the southern Gulf is possible into next week. Speaking of the Gulf, another flare up of activity could be underway near the Yucatan, Pressures are falling in that region and the parent tropical wave is drifting west. Should a system form, it could become the 5th tropical system of the season and should drift west toward the Texas/Mexico coast. More details to follow in the days ahead!
