Here's a pretty satellite view of the area. Looks like a broad LLC off the coast of Africa now, and a big blob still inland:

What Alabama could really use is some rain! I'll take a baby depression with 2-3 inches of rain. Wind I could do without.

"Look what's headed for the African coast....."

That’s odd... is that weather pattern in reverse and it’s heading back into the African Coast? Wouldn’t that act like a barricade and prevent normal tropical convection from moving from the coast into the Atlantic.... oh no.... here come the “season’s over” threads…

Seriously, think the topic name needs editing… :wink:

No, Dixie is correct. The storms are moving right to left coming from the african interior moving towards the coast.

Wait a minute…. now I’m confused, if the storms are moving “right to left” from the African interior to the coast, then why is the thread header saying… ahhhhh…. darn, I just answered my own question…. [Squinting] nevermind.....
