1. Oh no.. I hope they die out in the middle of the ocean

3. Maria is NOT expected to do much

But #15 has potential to worsen. :-(

10. Maria forecast -- not to worry except for fishing boats

4. The "L" one (Leo?) did...

...but keep your eyes on these.

[Zomby Woof]

6. Lee

Lee is no longer considered a threat. Maria is supposedly at its peak...

But #15 is right behind them and has some formation potential.

11. Lee is the one on the GA-SC border right?

[Zomby Woof]

13. Post #7 has a map of its tracking

Looks to be further toward the northeast of GA/Carolinas.

2. That blob in the upper right is Lee?

[Zomby Woof]

5. Not sure, but Lee is considered to die out completely soon

That blob in the middle is what the meteorologists are watching closely.

With any luck, it will play itself out before hitting any land.

This is the earliest 15 depressions have formed since 1851.

7. Forecast on Lee -- no danger except maybe at sea.

8. Everyone in FL hold tight- this is only the beginning of hurricane season!

9. Hot Saharan temps meets hot N. Atlantic waters meet Gulf of Mexico

and voila, hurricanes. I wonder if keeping track of all those temperatures can help scientist predict tracks of hurricanes ? Those who know, please discuss here.

12. TD#15 will be named "Nate"

And looks like bad news :-(

[Zomby Woof]

14. Yeah, I do not like the looks of it

:-(

17. Weather Underground doesn't even have #15 on the map

And #13 (Lee) is done and gone. Maria poses no threat to land.

I think we're okay for the time being.

18. I never use them as a source

For reasons that are off-topic (has to do with their horrible forecasts when I lived in northern AZ - missing the temps by more than 10 degrees), I will just say... try NOAA and Weather.com for corroboration.

15. Remember, the odds of a hurricane strike

do not decrease when one has just hit.

16. Very true

As we saw with Dennis earlier this year.
