Large wave in Central Atlantic

[ConvergenceZone]

Wow, this SAL outbreak looks evens stronger than before!!!... Carib or Gulf activity might be all we see for quite some time, at least until September, and then maybe the SAL will start to subside...

[KWT]

The SAL outbreaks are big but many seasons have had this, take 1998/99, those two didn't get anything major coming out of Africa till late August.

Oh well, at least it greatly reduces the chances of a long track U.S landfall.

[catastrophic]

heres a QuikSCAT. is that area SouthWest of cv associated with the wave



the area has a little convection over it

[Mecklenburg]

sal is so intense right now

[Scorpion]

SAL should lessen later this month just in time for the heart of the season

(Not yet an Invest.... Moderators rename when appropriate.)

See: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/catl/loop-ir2.html

This has been remarkably persistent, has impressive westerly inflow on the southern edge of the SAL, excellent outflow, and no other nearby systems to interfere with it.

wrong forum....

[Chacor]

If it's not yet an invest it doesn't go in the active storms forum.

[jhamps10]

although that would be the area that previous 90L would be in by now wouldn't it?

anyway it does deserve to be in the talkin tropics main forum instead of active zones.

central atlantic IR images look good right now...



and if we have a bit of something on quikscat, then I wonder if we will see an invest today on it.

Yeah its getting kinda confusing with a thread on each wave, lol.
ex90L is out in front of this blob, with not really any convection associated with it, around 44W 17N as stated in the TWD.

The blob being discussed here is also the being discussed in another thread tho.

So I believe there are 2 threads on this one........

Honeyko,I merged your thread with the other one that was first in the forum about the same system,to not have duplicity of threads about one system.

A TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 31W SOUTH OF 20N MOVING WEST NEAR 20
KT. A 1010 MB LOW IS ON THE WAVE AXIS NEAR 12N31W. CYCLONIC
TURNING IS ALONG THE WAVE AXIS NEAR 15N WITH SHOWER ACTIVITY.
SCATTERED MODERATE TO ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION IS FOUND ALONG
THE ITCZ FROM 8N-11N BETWEEN 26W-35W. AN EARLIER QSCAT PASS
CONFIRMED THE EXISTENCE OF THE LOW CENTER ALONG THE WAVE AXIS.

Looks good for now, we need something to track, Edouard is on shore.

i hate this SAL

I LOVE SAL!

[ConvergenceZone]

This wave is holding together more than the previous one, so this may develop down the road....Should be away from the SAL before long.

[alan1961]

Now that it is August, poofation isn't a near certainty anymore on storm clusters leaving Africa.

i guess so, but this SAL outbreak could be seasonwide... just like 2005 where poofations in CV is rampant

so you were dissapointed mecklenburg that 2005 wasn't much of a CV season? who cares about a CV season in 2005 when that year was just about a record breaker for activity!
