Calling Malaise in Jamaica.

Have you seen this tropical depression yet? The one just north of Venezuela.

Where do you think this one will track?

Seems to me it could be a Gulf of Mexico kinda system.

Others are welcome to comment.

One way or another the idiots who decided to call elections in the middle of Covid-19 and during the peak hurricane season will face the consequences. And so will the rest of us.

Even if we don't get a direct hit (and we don't know how it will develop yet) we'll face some serious rain.
From NOAA
Interests in Jamaica, Honduras, Belize, Guatemala and Yucatan should monitor the progress
of this disturbance.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

It's looking like one of those rare Belize storms but it only has to veer WNW and we're in trouble. Depending on its track we may face the dirty side
