Per the NHC discussion:

The wave is simply an area of showers of thunderstorms located a few hundred miles NE of the northern Leeward Islands. Upper level winds may become more favorable gradually in a couple of days.

Way too early to worry about this system.

to worry, agreed, but not too early to keep a weather eye on it while Dean sops up all the coverage.

It bears watching.

Hurricane novice I might be, I’m keeping watch on this one from my seat in Great Mills, MD (just a few miles from NAS Pax River)

Well, I will now predict that the Jacksonville Florida metro area will not be hit directly may get at most some high winds near gale force and heavy rains( a normal summer time T-storm), sure could use something to kill the humidity a little...

If the model tracks going the way they are it should be West Palm Beach south to the Keys event, if the tracks continue their course wsw-w....

Accuweather update of 1645EDT 2007-08-20:

Another feature worth watching is a tropical wave that is along 58 west, south of 25 north. An area of blossoming convection is along the northern end of the wave between 20 and 25 north. Some computer model information suggests that the northern part of this wave might become an organized tropical system in the southwest Atlantic in a couple of days.

I agree. I’m not ready for a hurricane. My puppies have to get old enough to go home!

Bad news, folks. James Carvile has taken control of Rove’s weather machine. We are sooo screwed!

Thank you for the prayers. Lyme Disease isn't a fun diagnosis, but hopefully we're catching it early enough for simple and successful treatment.

We suspect he was exposed while at Scout camp two weeks ago in northern PA. He started the fever Saturday night, and as soon as he said his joints ached, I thought LD was a possibility. It's not flu season, and he didn't have congestion or intestinal problems. Since he continued with low-grade fever on Sunday, I was ready to take him to the clinic this morning in any case. When he told me this morning that he had a bump in his armpit and a rash on his side, it was a done deal. He's on Doxycycline for 10 days, following up with his regular doctor on Thursday. The clinic doctor seemed very competent, but since we have considerably more experience with LD in Pennsylvania than in SW Michigan, I'll feel better when his regular doctor reviews the situation.

Today he's feeling more peppy and keeping up his energy in the evening - perhaps due to the the ibuprofen, since it seems early for the antibiotics to be helping much yet.
