A bunch of thunderstorms near the Lesser Antilles of the West Indies is being observed a possible tropical storm that could affect the United States . . . more so the Eastern seaboard than the Gulf Coast as all the data on the "invest" (as as a tropical system that hasn't quite formed yet is called) and on the upper-level atmosphere come in. Even though a storm - it would be called Cristobal if it were to, as currently expected, reach tropical storm strength - hasn't formed yet, data seem to be consistent in suggesting it will go near the southeastern United States after affecting the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico) but veer away from the Eastern Seaboard entirely. But since a storm hasn't formed yet, no one can say for sure if this will be the case a week hence.
Right now, there's no indication that it would, umm, hit New Jersey, but I'm certain many Sandy-weary residents of the state have it in the back of their minds. Right now, the best guess is that if this storm were to form and affect the East Coast, it would most likely hit Florida, which hasn't had a hurricane make landfall since 2005. If it happens this time . . . Well, I could suggest that President Obama could react quickly to any such event and get the state back up on its feet right away and prove how the government is a force of good and provide opportunities for good politics, but who do you think I am, Chris Matthews?
Right now, coincidentally, my area of New Jersey is under threat for thunderstorms.
