what was the last cape verde system to form last year?

[chrisnnavarre]

Wow, that looks like it might cross over at a lower latitude than the others.

Anything moving south of the islands could be where we get our problems this year. Of course I'm talking about the weather interior to Africa, down around 10N.

Just as an aside here- Phil K. on the Mike W. show last night said he thought the season would have a quick end- and an inactive October. But he then said something like "but then again, we could be surprised- you never know". That's always nice. I am beginning to think this seasonal forecasting stuff is not as useful as we would like to think. They were way off last year and way off this year- with their early predictions that is. Hey- once we get to August 15, let's see how things look in the Atlantic and Pacific and go from there. Who cares in April if some group is predicting 17 named storms, etc. It doesn't really matter until the season ramps up anyway- and often times there are things that throw off the forecast like an unexpected El Nino. So we'll see- one day at a time.

last Cape Vrde system last year

There was only one real CV system all year, Irene in early August

Yes, and look what a season we had last year. That's why I always maintain that "CV season" is way overrated.

[jabber]

Yes but when they come all the way across.... its pretty rare.

Deans4Storms was saying this morning that the pattern might change at the end of the month so these systems might make it across rather than stopping at 60W and turning north.

[sma10]

And you know what? It looks like that system inland in going to roll of the African coast in 2-3 days and develop. And follow Helene in a recurve. Good times.

The Cape Verde season is almost closed, if not closed already for any U.S. strikes. IMO

What do you have to explain that but, a blunt statement?
