By the way, the tropical wave on the Caribbean has no evident signature, but the one on the Eatern Atlantic may be embedded in all that mess of clouds.

Yeah my friends, agree but let's take it easy :) right now...human mistake, no death, no damages to report :cheesy:

Yes, I agree, but it's an odd problem that you now hear of in the news (the MTV Award issue, the Presidential speech issue, etc.), of people spouting inappropriate comments in public - it's either that mankind is finally at the breaking point, or perhaps it's just evil having more of an influence in today's world, but when I worked at the NHC (25 years ago) that type of comment was unheard of and would not have even been considered, instead, it would have been written as:

"...A WEAKENING AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH AN ILL-DEFINED TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED NEAR..."

and that would have been that - in those days, subjective comments were not allowed in any NWS or NHC products...

Yep. That probably means this thread will soon be closed as we head over to the Active Storms Forum. The system is looking awfully good this morning, though. The latest TWO states that it “...shows some signs of organization.”
