Blob at 30w (Is invest 90L)

#1 Postby Ivanhater » Wed Jul 28, 2010 11:05 pm

Since this is not the wave in Cycloneye's thread "Wave emerging off Africa" it should be discussed separately.

This has not been identified as a wave on the surface map so I will call it a blob for now.

Extremely cold cloud tops and ASCAT is indicating a low pressure area forming...

Someone posted earlier that the reason why this area is sustaining itself is because its still attached to the ITCZ. Lets see if it fizzles or starts to gain latitude in the next few days.

If this "blob" stays together and gains some latitude, we may see some cyclonic turning. It is deprived of the Coriolis effect at its current low latitude.

My bet is it still will, but you really can't be sure in the tropics...

Something says poof to me too like all the other promising waves, but that black IR is making me wonder.

It's too far south right now to indicate anything more than it being just part of the ITCZ. Very few storms ever develop south of 10N (Ivan strongly comes to mind), but several do break out of the ITCZ and develop. There is a lot of activity so something can happen. The wave east of the Leewards has a better shot of doing something than this blob. That ones really popping tonight.

Looks to me the convection is the strongest it has ever been.

It's just so pretty, should at least get a 0 percent :lol:

If it hold together through the morning it will most likely get a nod

I'm sorry, but how is this wave NOT getting any mention in the TWO? It makes Bonnie look like nothing(ok so it kind of was, but still). :lol:

Not sure why this is being ignored, its held the same presentation, if this was in the Gulf we'd have probably had recon into it by now!

I'm guessing that it's being ignored because it's too near the equator and still part of the ITCZ.
