Re: Strong Tropical Wave WSW of CV Islands
Maybe it'll come back to bite me, but I've become much more interested in this system over the last 24 hours. Gonna be a slow week, but after that. Watch out.

Re: Strong Tropical Wave WSW of CV Islands
I think all the models have this wave - just some show further development and some do not. So kudos to the GFS for sniffing it out first.

Even the JMA model has it albeit weak.

Re: Strong Tropical Wave WSW of CV Islands
I think the possible real reason the GFS and other models are all over the place with development or no development, and OTS or EC threat is we do not have a developed TC, let alone an invest or even a definite center. I bet once this becomes an invest(should within the next 24-48hrs.) the picture will start to become more clearer.

I think this reasoning is overplayed too much on here. There's no doubt models handle weaker systems worse than strong systems. However, there is an ever more well defined vorticity max that the Euro just plain dissipates in the next 24 hours.

Yeah, I too have become much more interested in this potential system since yesterday. I mean it's been nine years since we've seen a decent TC in the Atlantic in the month of July.

I think the JMA is significantly lower resolution, which is likely at least part of why it's weaker--it tends to do this with every system, even developed ones.

tropical tidbits only has access to a 2.5 degree version of the model

Re: Strong Tropical Wave WSW of CV Islands
"while it moves generally westward at about 10 mph"
Say that to yourself a few times. Moving west at 10 mph....in early July. West. At. 10 mph. Wow! Remember the days (just recently too) of "moving west at 25 mph" and we all knew, yeah, that won't develop....
The winds of change have slowed in the deep tropics. And it's just July 2.

Re: Strong Tropical Wave WSW of CV Islands
The Ukmet is stronger than the 00z and continues to be among the most aggressive of models which is unusual for the UKmet which historically is conservative. Very intersting

18z GFS is rolling. Let's see if it becomes consistent or remains inconsistent.

18z coming in stronger as always. We were talking about this yesterday TheStormExpert.

That is eye opening. Does it look like it is going OTS on the UKMET?

Re: Strong Tropical Wave WSW of CV Islands
18z operational GFS much stronger shy of the 40W longitude than past runs.

Would like to see how the ridge is his run.
