Birth of a tropical cyclone!!!!!

The National Hurricane Center has just released a statement indicating that the strong tropical wave in the western Caribbean may now be forming into a tropical depression. A hurricane hunter plane has been dispatched to the area to find out for sure. If it does develop we will know it as Alex. Where will it eventually end up ? It is much too early to know but it certainly appears that it will move into the Gulf over the weekend. Stay tuned ! Rex
