Re: Strong Tropical Wave SSE of CV Islands
Aren't we in a suppressed phase right now in the Atlantic or does that start around July 15th

Here's Mark Sudduth's take on things. Interesting, to say the least.

I think this may be the reason why the Euro (EPS) is not developing it while the ukmet & GFS (GEFS) are. Consider how different are the EPS and GEFS MJO forecasts right now. There are often differences but this case is larger than normal I think. The EPS usually ends up verifying more closely to reality though it will often end up somewhere in between when there are large differences. The GEFS has it staying inside the circle in phase 2 (nearly stationary) before eventually doing an unusual backtrack (clockwise rotation on the graph) toward phase 1. OTOH, the EPS has it rotating in the common counterclockwise direction into phase 3 very quickly followed by phases 4 & 5. The Ukmet, which goes out only 6 days, is in agreement with the GFS in leaving it nearly stationary for those 6 days. Fwiw, the JMA is similar to the GEFS/UKMET.
So, maybe this is the main reason why the Euro is out on its own right now with nondevelopment. Is it more likely to bust badly in this case or is it more likely to win this time? This is a tough one but the GEFS having the Ukmet in its camp for development as well as the MJO over the next 6 days at least makes me leery about going with the Euro despite it often doing best with the MJO.

Yes, a little weaker, but still there. Interested to see if the signal on the GEFS stays the same.

I do notice that it seems like when it forecasts it to track a little faster it shows a weaker system, like is doing in this run, a little faster than last couple of runs thus a little weaker than 2 previous runs.

Big trough along the Eastern seaboard of US and Western Atlantic

Re: Strong Tropical Wave SSE of CV Islands
Another hit on Haiti this run. Let's hope the GFS continues to be wrong.

Re: Strong Tropical Wave SSE of CV Islands
The CMC has dropped development, or at least on how fast it could develop.

GFS by itself again. It sounds familiar. I wonder if we have a recent example of...... Wait TD4
