WAVE FAR SOUTH OF CAPE VERDE

#1 Postby tropicsPR » Fri Sep 12, 2003 7:54 pm

There is some convection and thunderstorm activity in the wave south of Cape Verde. What the models say? Some future development?. Sorry, I know everybody is focused in Isabel. But September is not over.

Yes still cape verde season left but at this time conditions are not the best for that wave to develop as there is a big trough in the eastern atlantic but in comming days it will lift out and conditions may be better.And also Fabian and Isabel formed more north than 13n making the waters south of that latitud more warmer so let's see what happens with that wave.

I hope that the Cape Verde season ends soon. I dont wanna go through another period of watching for days and days and days waiting for where a system will go.

The answer to that is yes, there is model support for this.

Curiously enough, the UKMET spins something up ENE of Isabel after 72 hours.

The trough seems that it is in the process of lifting away so the Cape Verde Season doesn't look over yet.

It does have some good convection below 10N and yesterdays Qscat shows the wave well with a open circulation. However this mornings 8am Discussion says the upper levels aren't changing for awhile.

EASTERN ATLANTIC...
RIDGING DOMINATES THE ERN PART OF THE ATLC OCEAN WITH AN
ANTICYCLONE CENTERED NW OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS NEAR 23N28W
AND A RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING NWD BEYOND 32N27W. THE ONLY OTHER
FEATURE OF NOTE IS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED JUST NE OF THE
CANARY ISLANDS NEAR 31N14W WHICH IS MOVING VERY LITTLE. IN
FACT...MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT TO ANY OF THE
FEATURES OVER THE ERN ATLC FOR THE NEXT 72 HRS.


Looks Like the ITCZ will be sending more possibilities in the coming days.

Agree Aquawind that still the ITCZ can deliver something but the CV season is going to shut down I think more early.
