Since We Didn't Get Enough on The First Pass

It started raining outside just as I took a peek at the Tropical Weather Outlook pages over at NHC. This is where they talk about the stuff that isn't big enough to name yet. Would you believe:
A WEAK LOW PRESSURE AREA...A PARTIAL REMNANT OF FORMER TROPICAL DEPRESSION IVAN...IS LOCATED ABOUT 55 MILES EAST-NORTHEAST OF MIAMI FLORIDA. THIS SYSTEM IS PRODUCING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA...THE NORTHWESTERN BAHAMAS...AND ADJACENT ATLANTIC WATERS. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE CURRENTLY UNFAVORABLE FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR...BUT CONDITIONS MAY BECOME MORE FAVORABLE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE SYSTEM MOVES WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO.

(Sorry, they write in all caps over there.)
The rain on my roof is Ivan-related?!? (Confirmed with online long-range radar.) And... in a few days this thing could possibly redevelop somewhere in the Gulf? (Would they continue with the name "Ivan," I wonder?)

(Inside joke to JoyBoyz: We didn't give the bet long enough.)

  1. Regarding the Inside Joke: AHHHH I guess I didn't win either :-(
