Tropical Storm Looming

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical depression headed for the Bahamas. It is forecasting the depression to reach hurricane strength (where you see the "H") symbols. People in the Southeast coastal areas should keep an eye on the storm it will take probably another twelve hours (i.e., Sunday morning) before we can get more confident on the path/intensity.

Note: This is the storm the meteorological rabble-rousers were forecasting to hit New Orleans at one point last week.
