Look at paragraph two/ I have pasted it here.

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE HAS FORMED IN THE SW CARIBBEAN NEAR
11N78W WITH MINIMUM PRESSURE OF ABOUT 1011 MB. THIS SYSTEM HAS
BEEN SHOWING SIGNS OF INCREASING ORGANIZATION THROUGHOUT THE DAY
WITH BANDING FEATURES BECOMING MORE PROMINENT. COMPUTER MODELS
UNANIMOUSLY SUGGEST THE AREA HAS POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT WITH VERY WARM WATER AND LIGHT WIND SHEAR IN THE
FORECAST. A SLOW DRIFT TO THE W OR WNW IS LIKELY WITH THIS
SYSTEM. SCATTERED TSTMS ARE S OF 13N BETWEEN 76W-83W.

Being a Floridian and having been through a few Hurricanes, it comes as no surprise that this is forming here. Usually these storms form in the same place in the same season if the conditions are right.

Not to stir the pot or anything, but I though people otta keep an eye on this especially if they live in the Yucatan.

I have had my eye on it for about 24hrs now and thought it was looking like a possible spot for development.

1. Is this TD Alpha?

3. No this is not even a Tropical Depression, but what NOAA is saying

that this area bears watching because if a Tropical Depression/Storm was to develop it would be here.

4. I think it would be Beta

seem to recall that TD Alpha has already formed.

5. Could you give us link that would take us to the page to select that

feature, there was no back button and the imagery you have shown is too old, I wanted to look at something more current.
