The 2012 Tropical Storm Season has been very tame thus far, however, as we get into the peak months for storm development, that may change. We are currently watching Tropical Depression # 5. The storm center is located approximately 500 miles east of the Windward Islands and is moving westerly at approximately 17 MPH. As the storm center gets in to the warmer Caribbean waters by late Friday night, the storm will be increasing in intensity and may become Tropical Storm Ernesto. As this storm develops, we will post unofficial updates as warranted.
