Noticed the circulation taking place right in the center as almost an eye is starting to barely form. We could have a system on our hands soon enough. _________________ Chris

AN AIR FORCE RESERVE UNIT RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT FOUND THAT THE
BROAD LOW PRESSURE AREA IN THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN SEA NO LONGER HAS
A CLOSED CIRCULATION. HOWEVER...THIS SYSTEM COULD STILL BECOME A
TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES
WESTWARD AT 15-20 MPH. ALL INTERESTS IN THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN
CARIBBEAN SEA SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS
SYSTEM.

This one is important for at least one reason--oil. I would suggest to fill up your gas tank on Monday, as starting on that very day, the price of oil will probably start to spike again, as this would be named storm threatens the Texas and/or Mexico oil fields. It's also curious that today, we had that crane accident in a Texas refinery--just when the oil price was making a big move downward.

A collapsed crane is visible within the LyondellBasell Houston Refinery, Friday, July 18, 2008 in Houston.. One of the nation's largest mobile cranes collapsed at a Houston oil refinery Friday, killing four workers and injuring seven others in the latest of several fatal accidents that have raised concerns about the safety of construction cranes.
