Re: Tropical Depression Seventeen forms East of the Leeward Islands

With any luck, the building ridge will protect the U.S. Gulf Coast from whatever comes of 96L, while TD 17 gets steered out to sea. That might actually be the most likely scenario at this point, but lots of things could happen differently. While TD 17 is likely to head slowly NW for awhile, there is nothing immediately obvious to turn it definitively out to sea in the forseeable future.
