As the storm system that was Hurricane Irene diminished to a post-tropical system spreading winds and rain to New England and Canada, a new tropical depression was forming south of the Cape Verde Islands.

At 5 a.m. Monday, Tropical Depression 12 was located about 395 miles southwest of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands, according to the National Hurricane Center. The depression had maximum sustained winds of 35 mph and was moving west at 15 mph.

According to forecasters, some strengthening of the system is expected and the depression could become a tropical storm later Monday.

The next named weather system will be Tropical Storm Katia.

They call me ... Sarcasmo
The basement held up with very little water infiltration, plenty of food in deep freeze and new generator will be here this week. If need be I'll pick up an aero bed or two for downstairs and just go with it.

From Max Mayfield, meto, in Miami...

"The National Hurricane Center (NHC) 5-day forecast has it centered somewhere to the east-northeast of the Leeward Islands by Saturday morning as a strong hurricane. There is a good reason why the NHC only makes a 5-day forecast given the uncertainties in hurricane forecasting. However, at this time it is encouraging to see the long-range U.S. Global Forecast System (GFS) model and the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model indicating that the tropical cyclone will eventually turn northward beyond the 5-day time period. We need to watch any developing tropical cyclone in the deep tropics this time of year, but let us hope that these long-range models are correct in keeping this cyclone away from the U.S.
