This storm looks to at least threaten the islands, and then either threaten the SE or even Caribbean (once again).
Not to be overly dramatic, but with the once in a lifetime level of destruction possible from Katrina, it is doubtful that many of us here will be closely following 90L over the next 3-5 days. However, it may become a player (it would be Lee), so folks in the islands and Florida may want to keep the possibility of development in the back of their minds.
We've come a long way from our early August lull...
11:30 TWO: A LARGE TROPICAL WAVE ACCOMPANIED BY A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS CENTERED ABOUT 1450 MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS INCREASED AND THIS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO SHOWS SIGNS OF GETTING BETTER ORGANIZED. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE SOMEWHAT FAVORABLE...AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AS THE SYSTEM MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH.
