The Sleeper down in latitud east of Southern Windwards?

[superfly]

Some models develop this down the line.

Anybody know what low-flyers like this usually do?

Enter the GOM

Here is the latest update of the 6 hour meteosat-8.Nothing spectacular with it but it's hanging good after it emerged West Africa.

No. If they remain weak, they move into the EPAC. If they strengthen, either they go into the Caribbean (and even there it's not a guarenteed GOM threat) or gain enough latitude to either strike the Greater Antilles or move north of there.

Most CV storms never make it to the GOM actually.

The ones that do however, are unforgettable.... Take Ivan the Terrible for example. We'll never forget that one here.

Looks like there could be more coming along in a few days:

Eumetsat Africa and Atlantic

Would love to see "certain models" that have that coming in GOM.....PLEASE POST LINK

I think what the poster meant was there is a greater chance for a low lat storm to make into the carib, then GOM, than recurve up the EC. Models won't be run on this until its classified. Of course you know this....

[Wx_Warrior]

That's why I asked Rock...Didn't think they were out this early...

[weatherwindow]

good evening luis....how many degrees of longitude would separate the lowrider from the flo/td7 couplet?....hows the ridge strength north of the 8n22w disturbance?......rich

Well,the sleeper literally is=

These loops have such widely-spaced images that it makes them tough to decipher, but does it look like maybe it's starting to show a little cyclonic rotation?

Is this feature a wave a some kind of mesoscale vortex of showers.What are the probabilities of cylconic development.

[colbroe]

...Tropical waves...
an Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 25w/26w south of 13n
moving west 15 kt. Low clouds from 10n to 13n between 25w and
28w now may be the weather to watch with this wave.
Any showers are in the ITCZ.

[cycloneye]

Some more convection this morning with this feature mainly south of 10n.But TPC so far has not introduced it as a wave.

[boca]

I guess this is the system the GFS has in the bahamas on Sept 22nd.

[StrongWind]

I think people on this thread have been talking about 2 different areas. I took the original title post to mean the one now at 8N 38W. Lots of references are also being made to the system just off the African coast.

[Zardoz]

Is it beginning to show some cyclonic rotation?

Geez that's way down there!
