Back online with new developments

First, we would like to FINALLY welcome our little brother!

GOES-13 aka GOES-N was launched on May 24 at 6:11 pm EDT. We're still showing him the ropes but we'll let him get a word in every once in a while. While he will "technically" be in storage, he'll still be online in case we need him. 10 has nicknamed him "Neil" *satellite sigh*

Second, I am announcing the very first tropical system of the Atlantic Hurricane Season!



Tropical Depression One is located 75 km west of Cabo San Antonio in Cuba.

It is moving NNW at 9 mph and has maximum sustained winds of 35mph. One is expected to strengthen to tropical storm strength and advisories are being issued in Cuba. It will be over the southern Gulf of Mexico by tonight and is expected to already be affecting the keys and extreme southern Florida.
