A tiny group of storms slowly crossed the Atlantic on a track that diverted previous storms north towards the British Isles. This one was always a 'less than 10% chance' of becoming a tropical storm. Instead of hooking north, it moved slowly north of the Bahamas. Then suddenly, in only 24 hours, it became tropical storm Patty. A debutant.

Most all storms at this location head north or northwest up the Atlantic coast. This one is headed south west towards the Gulf. Well the Gulf has cooled since 22 Aug. At best, Patty may live long enough to become a cute hurricane.
