I was watching the model show something similar to this in size. It's going to be interesting listening to all the people who say, it's going to develop and all the people who say SAL and low SST'S will kill it.

I wouldn't get my hopes up yet,but since we are approaching the most active part of the season,maybe conditions will be right for it to turn into a named storm by the end of next week if it doesn't fizzle out before reaching the Carribean

It has to get through the SAL first, but maybe it has a chance if it makes it closer to the Caribbean.

What it tells us more than anything else is that conditions like these this early, combined with the forecasts for MJO, shear and SSTs are continuing to point to a very active Cape Verde season. It's only a matter of time right now...

All go POOF!!!.... :P until mid or late August. The Bermuda High needs to get positioned right as well as all other atmospheric players in place in the Eastern Atlantic. It wont be long though.

As was the case in 2006 a majority will go poof but one or two may sneek through into
the Carribean. I wouldn't get my hopes up if you are looking for a repeat of 2004 or 2005 activity though. Thank goodness. Anyway I know you guys a probably getting tired of hearing this but it only takes one really bad hurricane so don't be so concerned on how many we get in 2007 and more about how strong the ones that do develop get. Hopefully we won't see many.

OK, how does the "SAL" ( http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real- ... kAsal.html ) disaapear across North America and re-appear in the Western Pacific? The "S" does stand for "Saharan", doesn't it?

It does stand for saharan, but I think they call it that in the eastern pacific anyway, just to keep it simple and avoid confusion
