Hurricane!

A report from the weather front front lines on the first tropical depression of 2006.

Well, it's all part of my job! The weekend is here, and yes, I am "off" duty. However, it is hurricane season, and that means 6 months of always being on duty is some way. Hot pretty much sums up the local weekend forecast. A few coastal t-showers could occur Sunday. The system near the Yucatan has my full attention. A surface low pressure is forming and pressure levels are steadily falling. It looks as if it could become a depression Saturday. The hurricane hunters are scheduled to investigate this system if necessary Saturday afternoon.
