5PM Update 5 November 2008
Tropical Depression #17 has formed after recon aircraft found a low level center of circulation in the wave in the Western Caribbean. It may reach strong hurricane status before moving north and east, judging from the weather patterns and models it looks to have virtually no chance to near the mainland United States.
However, the Caymans, Jamaica, Cuba, and the Southeastern Bahamas will want to keep a very close eye on this system.
Original Update
It's November, the last month of the Atlantic Hurricane Season, and its when the activity starts to dwindle even more, leaving only the western Caribbean, and occasionally the Gulf (usually from stalled frontal systems) as the only spots to watch.
And in the southwest Caribbean we have a wave (93L) that needs to be watched, although if it does develop it will likely move away from the United States, and stay south and east of Florida.
More to come on that as needed.
