Paula Forming in the Caribbean

Almost hovering over land it seems... or partially.

Recon is in the area being investigated and the word from the NHC is:

". THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE...NEAR 100 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL
CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES NORTHWESTWARD AT
AROUND 10 MPH."

It currently is listed as Tropical Depression 18 on the Navy Site. Then again on the NHC sat site the floater is listed as Paula....

Long address but you get the picture... above or below.



Whether this is TD 18 or Paula... it's a technicality, she will be Paula.

Keep watching... the NHC should do some sort of announcement later day... probably by 5. Where does she go... keep watching ;)

It's gonna be a late October messy, difficult tracker.. season is far, far, far from over.
