New storm brewing

Forecasters are following another tropical wave that is now dumping rain on the Windward Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. The wave currently has sustained winds at 30 miles per hour, but it is expected to intensify into a tropical depression sometime Wednesday afternoon and perhaps become Tropical Storm Otto by Thursday. Given the flooding of last week, keeping a weather eye out for this storm would be prudent, particularly if you live or work near the Schuylkill River.
