Tropical Storm Developing - Headed Towards Gulf

Right now, the Bermuda High looks like some kind of squash - it's not even round. As a consequence, wind flows are unusually zonal - east to west.

It looks like a tropical storm may develop north of Puerto Rico, cross southern Florida, and head straight towards BP's oil well in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Closest approach to Tampa on Friday; Saturday for BP.

All that onshore flow is going to drive all that oily mousse onto those beautiful north Gulf beaches this weekend.
