I was actually kind of suprised that TD-2 formed at all considering how unfavorable the tropics are right now. Glad to see it poof, lets hope we have a landfall free hurricane season the remainder of this year.....MGC

We already had a U.S. landfalling hurricane a few weeks ago. Arthur made landfall as a formidable Cat.2 along the Outer Banks of NC.

I will say that based upon what WXMAN said, perhaps I was correct with my initial prediction of us only making it to letter "G" this year...

Former TD 2 looks just about dead for now.. If it moves into Carribbean it will be dead for sure but if it moves NW and lingers near Bahamas it could be something (unlikely). We will see by tomorrow night....

Just because people saying global warming would increase hurricanes were wrong does not mean that people saying global warming is happening were wrong. This is a pretty annoying and common failure of logic, just because one thing is wrong doesn't mean every thing is wrong.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 PM EDT WED JUL 23 2014

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The remnants of Tropical Depression Two, located about 140 miles
east of the Lesser Antilles, are producing cloudiness and
disorganized showers. There are no signs of a surface circulation,
and environmental conditions are expected to remain unfavorable for
re-development of this system as it moves rapidly westward at 25
mph. Regardless of development, the system is expected to bring
gusty winds and showers to portions of the Lesser Antilles tonight
and Thursday morning.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...near 0 percent.

TD Two's development was largely due to the passage of a convectively-coupled kelvin wave. These waves enhance upper-level divergence, leading to lowering surface pressures and convective development. This is similar to how Dorian last year developed; we see what happened to it once the CCKW passed. This was nothing different.

Another one will pass next week, so we might have to watch the central/eastern Atlantic then. Not every CCKW will lead to a tropical cyclone though.

Sorry, this has absolutely nothing to do with a Kelvin Wave. Where/how did you come up with this hypothesis?

Fairly well known in the trop met community that the passage of a Kelvin wave is favorable for development

This conversation between a hurricane specialist at the NHC and some very well known people in the field helps the CCKW case a bit. I believe that a CCKW may have helped a little bit in this case.

What's your evidence that it wasn't?

Convectively-coupled kelvin waves are associated with localized regions of enhanced upper-level divergence. When air diverges in the upper atmosphere, air at the surface is forced to rise; since pressure is just a byproduct of the weight of an air parcel, when this air rises into the upper atmosphere, surface pressures lower. Lowering surface pressures feedback, leading to enhanced low-level convergence. Increased levels of low-level convergence mean more rising air, more convective development, and more latent heat release.

There are MANY known cases of tropical cyclones forming during or just after the passage of CCKW. We've seen several in the East Pacific this year alone. A new hypothesis is that CCKWs may also aid in the rapid intensification of cyclones, as we saw with Amanda in May and Raymond last October.

Maybe so....I mean California(where I live) is on the verge of a catastrophic disaster of epic proportions(horrible drought), so something obviously is going on.... I feel like anyone who says that should have all their daily water privileges removed......People who take water for granted.

Yellow alert have been activated in the butterfly island and should be maintain till tommorow 6AM.

For those who are interrested this twave is crossing Guadeloupe since yesterday night...bringing thunderstorms even isolated ligthnings and showers.

Our local Pro Mets of Meteo-France Guadeloupe measured between 20 and 40 millimeters at Petit-Bourg (near my locality) and gustywinds up to 63km/h. Waves average of 2m10, with max at 3m70. Thanksfully this feature should bring some water after the severe drought always occuring in most of the EC islands :). I will keep your informed if i've more infos from this feature.

200 AM EDT THU JUL 24 2014

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Disorganized showers and thunderstorms moving westward over
portions of the Lesser Antilles are associated with the remnants
of Tropical Depression Two. There are no signs of a surface
circulation, and environmental conditions are not conducive for
re-development of this system as it moves west-northwestward at
about 25 mph. Showers and gusty winds are possible through much of
the day, especially on the islands of Guadeloupe, Dominica,
Martinique, and St. Lucia.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...near 0 percent.

Generally it seems these unfavorable conditions have been around for years, at what point do we conclude an overall pattern change has ocurred from the active period that started in the mid 1990's

i think the active period ended a few years ago and might be the shortest active period ever. we got quite lucky as the active period of 1933-1964 featured many more major canes hitting the US. most of the time since 1995 we have had a protective trough in the west atlantic.

Not to put too fine a point on it, didn't Phil K. (and many others) not get it too right last season?
