Bad news Caribbean travelers

The National Hurricane Center at NOAA is tracking a "tropical wave" off the coast of Africa.  This storm could form into a tropical "depression" as early as Monday, August 13, or Tuesday.

This wave is tracking towards the Caribbean and could become the first hurricane of the 2007 hurricane season.

From NOAA: "CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM".

September 10 is traditionally the height of the Atlantic Hurricane season.  Also, water temperatures are approaching prime conditions for development of hurricanes. 

If you are traveling to the Caribbean in the next two weeks, you may want to consider trip insurance.  Call a travel agent.
