Traders watching Tropical Depression #4

While it is still early, traders will start paying more attention to the tropical depression (TD4), which is currently about 1580 miles east of the Lesser Antilles Islands.  So far, the 2007 season hasn’t provided any real reason for energy traders to be concerned, but expect more activity around this one over the next few days if TD4 strengthens.  Right now, models are projecting a wide range for the potential track of TD4; the GFS model brings the system up the Atlantic towards the eastern seaboard, while the Candian and UK models are strengthening the ridge and steering into the southern Gulf of Mexico.  Recent satellite imagery shows that this system is still not very well organized.  Weather Trends International will continue to update on the conditions as they develop over the next few days.
