Will most likely soon become Tropical Storm Alberto. The bulk of the rain will be hitting my area by Monday - but this one's a blessing in disguise. We've had serious drought issues this year so far. We need some rain badly. Looks like us Floridians (and others) are in for another stressful hurricane season.
And for those in hurricane-impact areas - or others who like to folow this stuff - here is the best hurricane tracking site I've ever come across. Very in-depth and engaging.....

Poorly organized Tropical Depression 1 has formed with all the thunderstorms and torrential rain east of the center. Over the weekend if persistent convection can develop closer to the center of circulation, the tropical depression could become Tropical Storm Alberto. Some rain will hit the northeast Yucatan Peninsula, but the bulk of the heaviest rain will remain east of the tropical depression over the western half of Cuba where 10 to 30 inches are possible by early Monday. Deadly flash flooding and mudslides are likely. Grand Cayman reportedly picked up a whopping 22.72" of rain in the last 24 hours. From Sunday into Tuesday, the heavy rain will take aim on Florida and could become a great drought buster for much of the state.
