Beta testing

And then we have Tropical Storm Beta, currently developing in the far southwestern Caribbean Sea. Expected to make landfall in Nicaragua as a minimal hurricane, Beta is the 23rd named storm of the 2005 Atlantic season.

There is another tropical wave moving into the Lesser Antilles today. This one could develop over the next couple days as upper-level winds become a it more favorable for development. Early, early indications are that this will head west into Central America.
