Re: Tropical Storm Gamma forms near Honduras

I'm not normally one to throw out comments like this but i dont think the NHC is overdoing this really. With recon finding a closed circulation, and the Bay Islands reporting sustained tropical storm force winds, NHC really had little choice but to classify it as Gamma. Sure, their forecast track and intensity may be off, and Gamma may not last all that long, but one thing for sure is that it is here now - and the observations support that.
