Tropical Depression Four Forms in Atlantic
The National Hurricane Center has officially recognized Tropical Depression Four, which lies in the mid-Atlantic with winds of 35 MPH. It is expected to become Tropical Storm Dean sometime on Tuesday morning. and is projected to become a hurricane by the weekend, when it may be close to the Virgin Islands, headed towards Cuba.

At this point, it’s too early to tell where the storm will ultimately make landfall, short of saying it will probably be somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico.
Atlanta’s hot weather got a break on Sunday, when a summertime version of the wedge brought east winds, and cloud cover that lasted through mid afternoon, and kept high temperatures in the 80s. After four days of record-setting heat (another temperature record was broken on Saturday), I’m sure everyone enjoyed the break. We could see more records broken this week, with high temperatures in the upper 90s through Friday. By that time, we’ll be in a better position to see what effect Dean will have on Georgia.
