NHC will be initiating advisories by 5 PM EDT on Potential Tropical Cyclone Seven, located over the

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Sun Aug 6 2017

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
northwestern Caribbean Sea.
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

1. Satellite data indicate that a broad area of low pressure has
formed over the western Caribbean Sea about 150 miles east of the
eastern coast of Honduras. In addition, winds just below
tropical-storm-force are occurring to the northeast of the center.
The associated showers and thunderstorms are gradually becoming
better organized, and a tropical depression or tropical storm will
likely form before the low reaches the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico
late Monday or early Tuesday. After the system crosses the Yucatan
Peninsula, it is expected to move across the Bay of Campeche by
midweek where additional development is expected. An Air Force
Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate this low
on Monday, if necessary. Interests along the coasts of Honduras,
Belize, and the Yucatan Peninsula should monitor the progress of
this system as heavy rains and strong winds are possible at those
locations.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

Lots of rain - some wind. Unless there is dramatic movement Northwards, this should not be a threat to the US mainland.

I hope it veers off into the Atlantic and stays away from all of us.

still getting some well-needed rain - West of us now. We should get some more rain overnight - it's not heavy just sustained.
Hope everyone else is as lucky.

Thanks roamer65
