Tropical Wave SE of Cape Verde

[tropicsPR]

At 16:00 UT the tropical wave south-east of Cape Verde looked very impressive. There is some rotation in it.

Visit http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tc_pages/tc_home.html and go to Atlantic Invest

That is not a wave IMO it is TD#14 now as it looks at the quickScat and sat presentation so later this afternoon or tonight you will see this classified.But the question is if it will follow Isabel with a west track or it will be going fishing.

My money is on a fishing trip!

I personally wish this would just stay as a TS all the way across the Atlantic, come into the GOM, then come straight up here and give me some rain! It's getting awful dry here.

But I agree on a fishy here.

Anyone have a good loop of this syetm? One that updates more than every 6 hours........

This is one of the best Meteosat pages I've found with a REALLY NICE interface:

Oh, and it isn't a wave, and it's probably not TD 14. Quickscat shows a large area of 45-50kt winds. It appears to already be Juan. Just another one of those that will be immediately upgraded to a TS on the first advisory because the NHC no longer thinks it is necessary to classify depressions any more.

Note that this quickscat image is from 0710Z (see the time stamp at the bottom-right of the image below the 16W longitude marker?)

This one runs in 30 minute intervals:

just set the animation and click on Isabel (however you can't see Juan-to-be quite yet)
