Here's the track of Hurricane Wilma:

Here's the track of Tropical Depression Alpha:

Looks like both are coverging on 35N 70W on Tuesday morning.

Anyone know what this is going to do?

2. This will surely conjure Godzilla.

I'm certain of it.

3. God DAMMIT.

More rain for England.

9. Damn, that is likely. Sorry.

Any other year, the New England flooding would be a big story.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

I'm in old England...

...and y'all can just keep your hurricanes to yourselves.

13. (I saw a tropical storm hit Spain this year)

For the very first time ever... So I guess you'd better take in the old lawn furniture next fall...

14. I wish it'd make up its mind.

Are we going to get tropical storms, or is the gulf stream going to shut down and freeze everyone?

On second thought, maybe I'll take the hurricane.

15. We could probably do with it

Yeah, I know we've had a lot in the past few days, but this is from the Met Office site:

Nine out of the last 11 months, have had below average rainfall across England & Wales.

And their updated winter forecast:

Our predictions continue to indicate a colder than average winter for much of Europe. If this holds true, parts of the UK — especially southern regions — are expected to have temperatures below normal.

There is also an indication for a drier-than-average winter over much of the UK.

Anyway, I've seen claims that Cambridge is the driest city in Britain. What have you got to complain about? :P

5. The perfect storm!

Please keep George Clooney off the high seas.

[LostinVA]

19. That's basically what "The Perfect Storm" was....

[jobycom]

6. I don't, but I'm curious. Perfect storm? Wipe each other out? Anyone know?

[yellowcanine]

7. Push Wilma closer to New England coast? Cause more flooding in Northeast?

I am not a weather man but these seem like possibilities to me.

[onenote]

8. will they mate and produce little baby hurricanes?

[jobycom]

10. Those would be tornados.

[MostlyLurks]

16. Oh Gawd, there's such a dirty joke to be made...must resist...n/t

[phantom power]

11. Wilma's circulation will disperse Alpha.

[papau]

12. Timing is everything - but the huge low coming down from Canada -1992

Perfect Storm (called a Northeaster) is a real possibility.

Alpha moisture will be picked up by Wilma - and the Canadian low - all by itself - will give us a small Northeaster Tuesday afternoon.

[Brotherjohn]

18. Look's like Wilma's already had Alpha for brunch.

[jobycom]

20. Well that's sure interesting.

I've never seen that before. Satellites are so damn cool!

21. it will hatch a George Clooney movie
