New tropical depression - maybe "Debby"?

Still a (thankfully) quiet season in the tropics, but Stormtrack has some news on a new tropical depression forming off Africa. It appears to be bending south, which may inhibit strengthening. However, if it does manage to get stronger, it may get a LOT stronger quickly, and head further west than originally forecast.

As usual, stay tuned...

UPDATE 8/23 11:47 ET - Tropical depression #4 is now officially TS Debby. The Stormtrack boys don't see it turning into anything very scary, nor do they see it threatening land, at least in the short term. The good news continues.

We're coming up on the one-year anniversary (if that's what you want to call it) of Katrina's strike on the Mississippi coast and glancing blow to New Orleans. Quite a difference this year.
