Tropical Depression 9 has formed in the open Atlantic, and will likely become Tropical Storm Isaac in the next 24-48 hours. Its path looks amazingly familiar, curving out to sea away from the United States. Same as Florence, Gordon and Helene before it. The Atlantic weather pattern is simply not conducive for a lot of strong hurricanes, and it's certainly not conducive for them affecting the U.S. I'm really beginning to think we will get through this season without a hurricane hitting the U.S.

You can follow the latest on T.D. 9, if you really want to, on the National Hurricane Center Web site.
