All eyes are on EPAC right now, but take a look at the action in Africa already -- and it's only mid-May! :eek:

NEW TROPICAL WAVE INTRODUCED OFF THE COAST OF AFRICA ALONG 20W S
OF 13N MOVING WEST AT AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF 15 KT. THE WAVE
INTRODUCTION IS BASED UPON A WELL-DEFINED SIGNATURE IN THE DAKAR
UPPER AIR TIMESECTION. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT THE
CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM IS CONFINED MAINLY TO THE
ITCZ AND IS NOT VERY WELL ORGANIZED.

Still very early to see development at that part of the world but this new wave is the #6 one in 2005 so much more to come out and when august and september arrive that part of the world will open it's gates.

I agree Luis, after last year and the early "storm" in the Epac. I wouldn't rule out anything. Short of winning Lotto of course. :lol:

Of course, if this was based on Amtrak's ETA record, no one would have to worry. Love trains, but Amtrak is having problems.
