Interesting tropical waves across the Atlantic

[Category 5]

I don't think it's uncommon for it to poof out and whatevers left of it reforms in the Caribbiean

[HURAKAN]

I would have been surprised if the system had not poofed!!!

Having said that here is some interesting wording from the NHC...

NUMEROUS STRONG SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM 5N TO 9N BETWEEN
19W AND 22W APPEAR TO BE WITH A SQUALL LINE AWAY FROM THE AFRICA
COAST. THIS SQUALL LINE IS SUPPOSED TO BE PRECEDING A TROPICAL
WAVE THAT WAS PUT ON THE 03/1800 UTC SURFACE MAP ANALYSIS ALONG
12W. LET US WAIT A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH
THIS FEATURE.

Must be a big deal if it has caught the eye of the NHC

Very impressive late tonight:

It sounds like the NHC has some interest in it. If it's still there tomorrow, maybe we'll see it mentioned in the TWO.

It is impressive but aren't the water temps not supportive of these waves yet thats why they go poof.

Actually, what the meant was to wait and see if it was a squall line preceding a tropical wave or a wave itself. I think they are just not sure. That is why they say "SQUALL LINE IS SUPPOSED TO BE PRECEDING A TROPICAL ". And then "LET US WAIT A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH
THIS FEATURE". They are not saying lets wait to see if it develops. They are saying lets wait and see if in fact it was a squall line or it was a wave. Squall lines die fast. Since this one has lasted longer, maybe they are not sure.

[HURAKAN]

Still very interesting 24 hours later. The convection has diminished but it's significant compared to what we should be seeing in a normal early June tropical wave. Nonetheless, development is not expected. Just a curiosity.

[StormTracker]

Maybe this wave thinks outside the bubble!!! Weird things are happening! This week here in Miami we are expecting temps in the low to mid 90's all week(in June)!!!

[Weatherfreak000]

As expected this thing went dead. It looks like a completely normal part of the ITCZ now, but still I am impressed this thing held on all the way to the Cape Verde Islands that's pretty impressive in Early June.

[Opal storm]

Too far south to make it to the Caribbean anyways.

[Frank2]

My guess, but, I think that the "let us wait and see" comment from the NHC might have been meant as a critical comment to the previous shift who might have prematurely put the system on the map as an identifiable system, since most of these waves usually dissipate quickly after leaving the coast, especially at this time of year...

Some forecasters would probably prefer to have referred to it as an area of thunderstorms for at least 24 hours, before actually referring to it as a true topical entity...

[hawkeh]

Hmm I'm no expert but I really thought this would have fizzled out by now. Still looking pretty solid especially for June...

[windstorm99]

Here's comes another pretty impressive wave of africa but chances for development seem rather low.

[HURAKAN]

They continue to look very interesting. Let the parade begin!!!

[skysummit]

"AN ATLANTIC OCEAN TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 50W/51W SOUTH OF 10N
MOVING WEST 10 TO 15 KT. SOME INVERTED-V LOW CLOUD MOVEMENT IS
SEEN ON THE LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGES FROM 5N TO 10N
AROUND THE WAVE. THE CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION FROM 7N TO 10N
BETWEEN 49W AND 58W ARE AT THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE EASTERN SIDE
OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN-TO-CARIBBEAN SEA TROUGH FROM 22N52W TO
15N59W TO THE NORTHERN VENEZUELA COAST NEAR 10N65W."

Getting ready to move into a "little more favorable area".

[windstorm99]

Favorable is correct here is the GFS outlook for the 8th of june.

Shows pretty favorable upper level winds across the eastern caribbean.

These tropical waves continue to amaze us.
