The Atlantic is warming up

Two systems are on the move and the conditions are perfect for development.
Time to get ready.

http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/

A broad area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave is
located over the central Atlantic Ocean about 825 miles east of
the Windward Islands. Although shower and thunderstorm activity
remains limited at this time...environmental conditions appear
favorable for gradual development...and this system has the
potential to become a tropical depression during the next couple of
days as it moves west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph.

A large area of showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad
low pressure area is centered about 400 miles southwest of the
Cape Verde Islands. This system has become a little better
organized today...and a tropical depression could form during the
next day or two as it moves westward at about 10 mph.

2. Those are days away but this wave may create more problems

for the Mexico and the US mainland before those enter the Caribbean. If this mass of rain gets organized someone will get hurt.

Thanks - we're ready for whatever is coming. :D

3. It must be another Bush fear tactic to drive us to buy supplies at Home Depot

Don't tell me ...lemme guess ...a majority of congress people hold stock in Home Depot and will benefit from a hurricane disaster.
