Tropical Depression Likely

tnsnowman — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 22:13:05 +0000

A new tropical depression is likely to form later tonight or Monday morning in the far eastern Atlantic. This system could strengthen and then head towards the states. This is something we will have to watch in the extended forecast for possibly an effect on our weather here in Middle Tennessee in the 8-14 day range. More updates will be forthcoming as soon as this system fully organizes.
