Disturbance in Central Atlantic

alienstorm · #1 Postby **alienstorm** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 2:27 pm

An interesting disturbance has formed in the Central Atlantic 9N 33W, on loop it has a buzz look to it... Maybe folks can chime in, persistence will be the key word here, but Upper Level Winds look good and is working in a nice moisture envelope.

TAFB shows a tropical wave with attached low moving WNW just north of 10N and east of 40W in 72 hours. I assume the convection you are seeing is part of the wave.

It's more interesting than the wave off the African coast...

isn't this really still the eastern atlantic? i mean it's east of 35W still

anyway surprising convection and looks good will be fun to watch should this persist

TAFB is forecasting the system off Africa in 72 hrs, this one is not on the map.. (YET)

Would like to see this presists in terms of convection for the next 24hrs before getting too interested.

Looking at its location I'd guess its just one of those ITCZ bursts we sometimes see at this time of year.

Looks pretty healthy and there's a nice ridge far to the north.

Looks almost like a well-rounded version of the hurricane map symbol...
Spin in the last 90 minutes. This isn't even a t-wave, just popped up.
Here's the loop it came from: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/carb/loop-ft.html

Sorry, I was too timid to open a new thread, so was using the "wave in Atlantic" and "near Africa" thread, sorry! Actually Bajan mentioned it a while ago in here. http://www.storm2k.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=102148&start=170
(Thanks, Luis! What a gem you are!!!)

Don't see any signs of a LLC, but looks impressive on the satellite.

Yes, may be. I wouldn't pay any attention to it, if I hadn't run a loop and seen the spin. That will keep me watching it until it dissipates, because it's location makes it a possible for our neighborhood in a few days. :wink:

This area should start to gain a little latitude soon as the ITCZ rises in front of it a little..of course persistance is the key as always.
