Tropical storms

Unnamed as of Monday morning disturbance near Nicaragua with a potential of becoming a T.S. and perhaps a hurricane. Stay tuned. Tuesday - become Depression Sixteen. Projected to pass over Honduras and Guatemala as a tropical storm. Wednesday: still a depression but dumping a lot of rain on Honduras and Guatemala. Thursday (Oct 16) depression no more, just a big area of low pressure, but generating strong winds and dumping lots of rain on Honduras, El Salvador, Belize and Guatemala while moving sort of west-ish.

Also Monday (Oct 13) Depression Fifteen, projected to hit Puerto Rico as a strong TS, then become a hurricane and go nuts in high seas. Tuesday - T.S. Omar (15th named storm of the season.) Wednesday: Hurricane Omar: the 7th hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. Thursday (Oct 16) - a Cat. 3 hurricane in high seas.

There was also T.S. Nana (14th named storm, briefly, become a depression rather quickly in mid-Atlantic) and is gone poof as of Tuesday morning.
