TD5 To Be Announced at 11PM, Dean Update

The NHC will upgrade the system in the Gulf of Mexico to TD5 at 11PM. This should become tropical storm Erin tomorrow. This will pose a threat to southern Texas over the next 72 hours.

Meanwhile tropical storm Dean did not look impressive at all this afternoon may be getting its act together and I am expecting Dean to strengthen overnight and throughout tomorrow. This is also supported by the models. In fact the HWFI takes it to a category five storm in five days.

I am posting this now and will get a couple pictures up in a few minutes.
