As it was in '05. Its been several years since we've had an active Cape Verde Season. As in '05 we can look for an active year, but without much from the African Coast. Whether its dryer conditions in Africa, or an abundance of dust coming off the coast there, I'm not sure what the cause. However, the overall positive conditions for development should favor formation in the lower Bahamas and perhaps in the Eastern and Southern Carribean toward the Leeward Islands. Look for an initial west movement before turning north toward the Gulf of Mexico and U.S. Coast.
