The first tropical storm we really need to keep our eyes on has developed in the Atlantic. Tropical Storm Dean is currently in the Atlantic Ocean and is forecast to be in the Caribbean Sea by Sunday. Here is the latest predicted track from the US Navy's NAVMETOCCEN:
According to the Crown Weather Services: "As for next week, the fact that many of the models are trending towards a brush with or landfall on the US East Coast is troubling and this is something to keep a very close eye on."
This storm is not something to worry about now, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to start thinking and planning ahead should it come our way. It would be a very good idea to start keeping good tabs on the predictions the end of this week and during the weekend. As far as the radio monitoring and scanning end of things, check out one of the Key Klix articles I posted earlier this year: Hurricane Monitoring - 2007.
