Humberto may be our rainmaker for Friday (South Mississippi) and that other sumbitch bares watching for the next 14 days.

Tropical Storm Humberto forms in Gulf of Mexico: NHC
Wed Sep 12, 2007 2:23PM EDT

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Tropical Depression Nine strengthened
into Tropical Storm Humberto Wednesday in the Gulf of Mexico,
the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in an advisory.

Humberto, which is packing maximum sustained winds of 45
miles per hour, was located about 70 miles south-southwest
of Galveston, Texas, and about 145 miles east-northeast of
Corpus Christi, Texas, the NHC said in a report at 2 p.m. EDT.

Humberto was moving toward the north at nearly 6 mph and
will likely cross the Texas coast Wednesday night.

The NHC said some additional strengthening was possible
before Humberto reaches the coast but the storm will likely
not turn into a hurricane before weakening once it hits the
coast.
