First, on a personal note I am now back from the mountain meteorology conference in Santa Fe. Thanks to Carlos and Adam for making sure everything was updated while I was away. Now for the news: it looks as if NHC is about to start advisories on Tropical Depression Six east of the Lesser Antilles in the Atlantic. The system has become just well enough organized to earn depression status. While NHC has not yet issued advisories, I expect them to do so within the hour.

I just initiated the model charts for TD Six and will bring them to you as soon as they become available.
