THIS SYSTEM COULD BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH CHANCE...60 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE

10. I'm watching Tropical Storm Maria - she's got a similiar path to Irene

Irene and Katia started around the same location but Katia turned early whereas Irene stayed on a straight path.

13. Looks like she might pull a Katia instead.

I hope she does!

14. Me, too!

Irene was one scary storm. We do NOT need another ever - much less this soon. ;)

11. God is never going to send rain to Texas!
