possible, according to the tropical weather outlook from the NHC. I don't remember when the last time a tropical system developed on our door step. One good thing is with it being close to the coast. It won't have much of a chance to develop into a very strong system. Could be a drought breaking system.
Now don't go messing with me now. I ditched the tv so that I want have to be addicted to the Weather Channel.
I'm not yet concerned on the wind and rain in the Gulf, but the disturbance in the Caribbean, will be watched.
From Dr Master's Blog:
Initial recon obs for the disturbance just about to enter the eastern Caribbean appear to show support for a closed circulation at 1000 ft (HD OB 14 and 15 showed WSWly winds), with very light winds and a lowest pressure reading so far of 1002 mb. If a closed circulation is found, this disturbance will probably be labeled a tropical depression. Most recent water vapor imagery shows a moister environment in the eastern Caribbean, but convection is still disorganized.

I'm glad I'm not flying to Japan right now. It appears that southern Japan is about to be hit with a Cat 4, Typhoon Usagi.
