Nate is forming FAST with 90% probability & could become next HURRICANE of season in warm waters of Caribbean Sea …
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure
located over the southwestern Caribbean Sea have become better
organized since yesterday. This system is expected to become a
tropical depression later today while it moves northwestward toward
the coast of Nicaragua. The low should move slowly northwestward
across or near the eastern portions of Nicaragua and Honduras on
Thursday, move into the northwestern Caribbean Sea by Friday, and
emerge over the southern Gulf of Mexico by Saturday. Interests in
Nicaragua, Honduras, the Yucatan peninsula and western Cuba should
monitor the progress of this system as watches or warnings could be
issued later today. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is
scheduled to investigate the disturbance this afternoon. Regardless
of development, this system will produce heavy rains over portions
of Central America during the next few days, likely causing flash
floods and mudslides.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…high…90 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…high…90 percent.[size=5]Just found this update on Accuweather as well on NATE becoming TS or hurricane in days ahead .. La Nina is exact opposite of El Nino (which is why Atlantic hurricanes have been so bad this season) …
[size=5]It’s becoming a little more official now as TD#16 forms

TS NATE became official at 8am EDT … 40mph & 999mb (it’s strengthening to hurricane force rapidly over next 48 hours)
Tropical storm Nate has helped push oil up $1 today as expected to travel straight north through the Gulf as a Category 1 storm, but it could strengthen further and is likely to lead to production shutdowns if strengthens.
pm update still has Tropical Storm #Nate strengthening to hurricane and making landfall in southeast LA, MS, AL on Sunday morning
FILL UP TODAY — this puppy is heading straight to NEW ORLEANS region — as probably CAT 1 or 2 hurricane … and there could be some temporary decrease in gas supply in our hurricane battered nation
WOW — I just learned that 22 have perished in southern Mexico already & prayers extend for those impacted … NATE is a FAST moving storm (which is why it’ll only be CAT 1 or so hitting land)
