Tropical Depression 7 has formed in the Atlantic, prompting Tropical Storm warnings for hispanola. A Hurricane Hunter will investigate the depression this afternoon, and given the favorable conditions, we could has Tropical Storm Gustav as early as this evening.
The primary threat is to the Carribean Islands. Long range models suggest a track northward into the Atlantic while the BAM suggests a track over the Florida Peninsula. Confidence in either of these tracks is not high at the moment.
