The National Hurricane Center has just officially classified the sucker pictured above, located at about 15N and 40W, as a tropical depression with 35 mph winds. It ain't named yet; it's merely TD 6 for the moment. And it's unclear where it will go--but it bears watching. If ithis one does develop into a hurricane, as per the official forecast, as it continues to move westward, then the issue will be whether or not it's one of those storms that recurve out over the Atlantic without ever reaching the U.S.....
P.S.: If named, this storm will be Florence....
