It is looking better today on satellite, but is still a couple of days away from getting going, I believe. It's far enough south that it should miss most of the unfavorable conditions, but only time will tell as to where it goes and how strong it is when (if) it gets going. It may be a reminder of what 97L could have done were it to have come off further south instead of further north in a more hostile environment, though truth be told 97L may have served to moisten the environment ever-so-slightly to help set the stage for future waves to get going.
I'm not going to be looking hard at it until after Katrina makes landfall, however. That storm has made me -- and many others -- quite sick with how the track forecast continues to change. It just goes to show how little we know about these storms. I have some friends spread about the southern Louisiana area and have been trying to help them prepare and stay up to date, on top of following the storm, so needless to say -- my hands are full with Katrina, particularly given what might unfold tonight.
