1. Not quite organized yet but looks like it has potential......

I just can't wait for All of us to receive our insurance renewal rates and bills, they're going to be outrageously high!!!!

2. Not yet.

It isn't listed as an investigational area yet. There is one brewing farther east, but it looks like another Phillipe.

It's becoming apparent that the ones we need to worry about most are forming close to the U.S/Cuba/South America.

3. I think I see karl Rove's image near the middle.

4. Here's some info from "WeatherUnderground."

Elsewhere in the tropics
Tropical Storm Philippe is a minimal tropical storm that may bring 30 mph winds to Bermuda, but is expected to die by Saturday. A strong tropical disturbance near 11N 30W, off the coast of Africa, has acquired a circulation and some deep convection. This system has the potential for development the next few days as it moves west to west-northwest over the Atlantic. Another area of disturbed weather 500 miles south of Bermuda also needs to be watched. Long range computer models do not show a threat to land from either of these systems in the next five days.

6. I like the 1-2-3 Rule of NOAA which shows "High Potential" areas:
