Re: Tropical Depression Eighteen Forms East of the Bahamas

From the latest recon

1: Maximum Flight Level Winds Were 67 KT N Quadrant at 23:16:50 Z
2: SLP EXTRAP FROM 850 MB
3: EYE FEATURE FORMING ON NORTH SIDE, ABOUT 40% COMPLETE




Where is the eye forming, I wonder? The IR imagery looks like the majority of the strong stuff is east of the apparent center. If the center is actually under the biig ball... ut-oh! Didn't we just do this a few weeks ago? I'm getting a sense of deja vu, except Rita could be stronger than Katrina was when it hit the coast of Florida.

ETA: Take note of this list:
Stan
Tammy
Vince
Wilma

The only names left on the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season list. Based upon the discussion, it looks like a system midway between Africa and S. America could ultimately become Stan. Someone needs to pour some dry ice into the Atlantic.
