Tropical disturbance brewing in the Caribbean: "Tropical disturbance brewing in the Caribbean
> Posted by Ken Kaye at 7:24 AM
Here it is, early November, a time when we should be formulating Thanksgiving plans, savoring the cooler weather and, of course, celebrating the historic election of Barack Obama.
Yet, at least in this small corner of the world, we’re still keeping an eye on a tropical system.
The same disturbance that’s been lingering in the Caribbean near the border of Honduras and Nicaragua for the past couple of days is getting better organized.
The National Hurricane Center gives it a high chance of developing into a tropical depression or a tropical storm within the next day. A hurricane hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate it this afternoon.
For now, the system does not appear to be a threat to Florida. Most computer models project it will pass south of the state as it moves northeast.
Those projections could change, however, if it develops a closed circulation. So we’ll continue to keep an eye on it."
