Yes, it's obliterating the wave that went north right now. Must be pretty strong. If it hits this system it could be lights out, and we wait for the next one.

Perhaps the model saw this coming?

Now the waves east of the little disturbance have re-convected.

Most likely the next hurricane.

The shearing winds seem to be moving off with Helene, and our system appears to be gathering itself:

Yet,another upper low is parked in the Eastern Atlantic so unless it moves away soon,for now it will not let anything develop in that part of the basin.

As I said in my post,if the upper low stays parked where it is,nothing will develop in the Eastern Atlantic.But if it moves away and the ridge builds than things can turn mote favorable.

That upper low looks like it's more strong now and the trough is dipping more southward.

All the way to Kirk?

#77 Postby jimvb » Mon Sep 18, 2006 6:47 pm

The 2006 Sep 18 18Z GFS run does indeed show this storm coming off the African coast (Isaac?). It shows it developing into a hurricane or something, following Helene, and then another one comes along (Joyce?) after it.

But did you also note at the end of the GFS run, that a storm hops off Central America into the Caribbean and goes northward? Is this Kirk? At 384 hours, Isaac, Joyce, and Kirk form an isoceles, nearly equilateral triangle, with Helene way off in the upper right corner. The GFS can be way off this many days in advance, but this is the second straight run that this storm has formed. Is the Caribbean apparition another Ernesto?

We need to keep watching the Atlantic and associated waters - it has turned into a hurricane machine.

00:00z Full Disk Water Vapor Image

:uarrow: :uarrow: :uarrow: :uarrow: :uarrow: :uarrow: :uarrow: :uarrow:

It's clearly seen at the water vapor image that a major upper trough is parked in the Eastern Atlantic and has dipped into the deep tropics latituds.The upper low seen there is cuttoff meaning it will not move much in the comming days.In order to have anything going ahead and develop,that trough has to go but in the near term nothing will occur in that part of the basin as long that upper low with the trough hangs on.

Good grief, has it come all the way down to 5N? That'll just shut the gate on anything:

yet another ULL ruining any chances for development - I say the Cape Verde door is closing
