I've read that the MJO is beginning to switch to a more favorable setup. That along with the fact that we are getting into the meat of the season should really make things pick up. Things will get going

I don't think I have seen them designate an invest this late in the evening. Most likely the morning shift will...

Re: Wave SW of CV Islands - Code Orange
Wow. Scary looking scenario. That should drum up some traffic here and get many folks paying attention!!
Ivanhater, the storm that shows up behind - is that the wave just about to exit Africa tonight? Or something else? I'm not very good at reading the model maps. Thanks for all you've posted!

Re: Wave WSW of CV Islands - Code Orange
What kind of shifts are they doing at the NHC. Is it their first TWO of the shift or their last?

That means we were just about 24 hours off crunching one last storm in for the month of July. What a shame.
Note: The Caribbean wave is firing again. I still have faith in two to three storm formations in the next 7 to 10 days.
its out in the middle of no where and unless it really blows up I dont think they will up it till the morning visible.. that is of course if it looks better..

Well I am not sure if it is the wave emerging now, timing would seem right. In about 144 hours when this current system is cutting through the Islands, the next one is developing so not that far out in time really.

I've had a few of those nights... 5am 2005
THE METEOROLOGIST ON BOARD THE PLANE RELAYED AN
EXTRAPOLATED 881 MB PRESSURE AND MEASURED 884 MB WITH A DROPSONDE.
THIS IS ALL IN ASSOCIATION WITH A VERY SMALL EYE THAT HAS BEEN
OSCILLATING BETWEEN 2 AND 4 N MI DURING EYE PENETRATIONS. THIS IS
PROBABLY THE LOWEST MINIMUM PRESSURE EVER OBSERVED IN THE ATLANTIC
BASIN AND IS FOLLOWED BY THE 888 MB MINIMUM PRESSURE ASSOCIATED
WITH HURRICANE GILBERT IN 1988. HOWEVER...ONE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL
BEFORE IT IS DECLARED A RECORD MINIMUM PRESSURE UNTIL A FULL AND
DETAILED CALIBRATION OF THE INSTRUMENTS AND CALCULATIONS IS
PERFORMED. SO PLEASE DO NOT JUMP INTO CONCLUSIONS YET...BE PATIENT
