Re: Hurricane Rita Tracking West Northwest in the Gulf

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, another potential site comes up. This snippet is from the NHC outlook.

A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE HAS FORMED ABOUT 500 MILES SOUTH OF
BERMUDA...AND A FEW HUNDRED MILES SOUTHWEST OF TROPICAL STORM
PHILIPPE. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS SOMEWHAT LIMITED...BUT THIS
SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT DURING THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

The low looks like it spun off of Philippe. All we can do is watch and see.

One note about Rita and the tropical systems of late, there have been so many "wow, what a storm" type of systems that it is getting hard to say that anymore.
