Update at 03/1200Z: Chris has been rapidly weakening over the past 12 hours or so. At the time, it has situated itself north of Puerto Rico. I personally think that the U.S. will just get its remains, if we get anything from Chris at all. It is possible, though, that it could hit the U.S. as a tropical depression, but only a TD, because it is weakening at a quick pace and it is steadily becoming disorganized.

Again, pardon me for bumping, but we have news.
At about 5:00 PM EDT today (21/2100Z), a new tropical depression (Four) has formed off the coast of West Africa and is heading westward. Right now, there isn't much immediate threats to this storm (unless you live in the Cape Verde islands; then you have a tropical storm warning for now); however, we are fast approaching the climatologically most active time of the hurricane season, and it is not uncommon for these types of storms to trek all the way across the Atlantic basin, meaning that it is possible that this could have major impacts on the States/in the Caribbean.

Pardon my double posting again, but we have a potentially serious issue going on.
It's not Debby anymore; likely by tomorrow it'll be just remnants of what it once was.
It's Ernesto; at about 9:00 EDT this morning, Ernesto was upgraded to a hurricane (the first one of the year). At the moment, Ernesto is just off the coast of Hispanola, with hurricane warnings on the southern coast of Haiti and eastern Cuba. The NHC predicts that the storm will be in the far eastern portion of the Gulf of Mexico, very close to Florida, within the next three days; it will probably be weaker as it passes over Cuba; however, this could still be a potentially dangerous storm.
If you are in the Florida keys or on the Florida peninsula, you might want to start preparing for this as soon as possible.
Update at 27/2100Z: Ernesto has been downgraded to a tropical storm; however, hurricane watches are in effect for the Florida Keys.
