The poor girl is being overshadowed by Gustav. But she promises to become quite a player. Here are some quick facts:

LOCATION
Passing about 215 miles north of the North Leeward Islands
Latitude 21.3N
Longitude 62.7W

MOVEMENT AND WINDS
Moving WNW at 12 mph
Highest sustained wind 50 mph
May become a hurricane Saturday night or Sunday

TRACK FORECAST
Toward the NW until Sunday morning.
Then curving toward the west
Then curving toward the SW by Tuesday into the Bahamas
If she continues that way, she would approach eastern Cuba from the north!

Interesting tropical season.
Never a dull moment
Is this more exciting than a snowstorm?
Or tornado?
Or blizzard?
Or storm chasing?
Or chasing drizzle?
