Re: Tropical Wave / Pouch 20L in Central Atlantic
Needs to be invested, is the most threatening system right now for the conus, in my opinion. The overall structure is still embedded in the ITCZ and may not develop for quite some time.

Might be time for a new hobby
There sure hasn't been much to track the last couple of years. We're heading into the latter 2/3rd's of August now.

Give us until Late-September. I have a feeling there will be a couple fun ones to track.

2 AM Discussion.
TROPICAL WAVE APPROACHING THE LESSER ANTILLES EXTENDS FROM
20N59W TO 9N59W MOVING W 10-15 KT. WAVE REMAINS EMBEDDED WITHIN
AN AREA OF MODERATE MOISTURE AS DEPICTED IN TOTAL PRECIPITABLE
WATER IMAGERY. SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE FROM 11N-13N BETWEEN 58W-
59W.
By the way, Guadeloupe is since 530 AM under an yellow alert for a risk of strong and tstorms due to the arrival of this moderate twave. Let's see what pan's out from this feature. I will keep your informed if anything happens in the butterfky island.

8 AM Discussion. Looks like twave is moving less quicker 10 kts and is gaining more convection this morning. If the forecasts are correct, Guadeloupe should get more showers and tstorms today. Let's wait and see.

jlauderdale,
Yeah, I know it just seems that storms are having a hard time getting going. When is the last time we saw a beautiful - text book Hurricane to track?

Well, for me, the last impressive hurricanes to have tracked across the Atlantic basin were in 2011, Irene (Cat 3), Katia(Cat 4), and Ophelia (Cat 4).
We have not had any impressive hurricanes in the Atlantic basin since then IMO.

NEVER, EVER SAY NEVER in the tropics and weather in general, and most importantly, with life itself!!

And to make things worst for tropical disturbances this year the subtropical Atlantic has also been running more stable than average over all, unlike last year.

FWIW, next week the pattern should change in the Western Atlantic and the constant shear and cold front intrusions should be replaced by a Bermuda High.

People have been saying the patterns going to change for the past month! I'll believe it when I see it.
