They named another sub-tropical storm as a "tropical" storm.

These folks are sad - that makes three this year.

Gotta make the data fit the prediction don't 'cha know.

Where do you get your weather info?

We're now up to 13 tropical storms for the year (not 3).

They named the latest one after Mrs. Krause. :-)

(Sept. 25) -- A tropical depression strengthened into Tropical Storm
Karen early Tuesday in the open Atlantic Ocean, where it posed no
immediate threat to land, and a new tropical depression formed in the
southwestern Gulf of Mexico.

Tropical Storm Jerry, in the northern Atlantic -- weakened and
dissipated.

At 5 p.m. EDT, Karen was centered about 1,430 miles east of the
Windward Islands, with top sustained winds near 40 mph, the National
Hurricane Center said.

It was moving toward the west-northwest near 15 mph and was expected
to strengthen over the next 24 hours. Tropical storm-force wind
extended outward up to 45 miles from Karen's center.

On its current course, Karen was expected to hit two low-pressure
areas and meteorologists were unsure how they would affect the storm.

The 13th depression of the season formed late Tuesday, and could
become Tropical Storm Lorenzo on Wednesday, forecasters said. A
tropical storm watch may be required for a portion of the Gulf Coast
of Mexico by Wednesday morning. At 5:15 p.m. the storm was located
about 190 miles east of Tampico, Mexico and moving toward the
southwest near 3 mph with top sustained winds near 30 mph.

It was not expected to move much over the 24 hours.

Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Jerry broke up over cooler water in the
Atlantic late Monday. Meteorologists expected the remnants of the
storm, which formed Sunday, to be absorbed by a larger non-tropical
low pressure system.
