SHOOT: Will be interesting to see where these storms go and how they grow. One is inclined to think the 2009 hurricane season is a slam dunk, but nature is always full of surprises.
MIAMI – A tropical storm warning was issued Sunday for the Florida Panhandle as a newly formed depression swirled off the coast and threatened to bring rain and possible flooding to the area.
Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center said the depression was expected to be near Florida's northern Gulf Coast by late Sunday afternoon. It was moving to the north-northwest at about 16 mph, with maximum sustained winds around 35 mph. At 8 a.m. EDT on Sunday, it was about 125 miles from south-southeast of Apalachicola.
Tropical Storm Bill had winds of up to 45 mph. It was expected to build momentum and become a hurricane in the next few days, but it was still far out in the Atlantic, moving west at 13 mph about 1,640 miles east of the Lesser Antilles.
Tropical storm conditions were possible within the next 36 hours. Ana was moving west near 20 mph. At 8 a.m. EDT, the storm was about 470 miles east-southeast of the Leeward Islands.
