At 5AM this morning, our friend invest 92L became tropical depression TWO. Just moments ago (11 AM) she got a proper name, BERTHA. Folks, we are now looking at a Tropical Storm.

At the moment, the projected path appears to keep her well clear of our little island, but she is still a long way away. We will be keeping a close watch of her progress across the Atlantic in the days to come.

In other weather news, our pre-bedtime check of the Graphical Tropical Weather Outlook last night showed a new player, Invest 93L (shown as the yellow circle area 1, below). And, lo and behold, it was knocking at our door. I expected that we might see some bands of rain and wind last night or this morning, but nothing has reached us at this time. I sit here writing these words under blue skies and calm conditions. Hopefully, we will simply watch that one in the rear-view mirror as the system continues westward.
