Tropical Depression Four has developed in the central Atlantic Ocean. The immediate forecast has it strengthening some and heading west-northwest fairly rapidly.

North Carolina to keep an eye on it. Check on its status at the
Weather Underground (source of the image at left) or your favorite weather center.
