Look at the two satellite photos below. The top is what became Frances about this time last year. The bottom is the current wave coming off right now. Very similar, eh?

The SAL will get it. Don't expect much for a while.

Shame that image doesn't go slightly further west or you would be able to see TS Danielle as well. 8-) http://www.met.fu-berlin.de/de/wetter/maps/Analyse_20040821.gif

On August 21, 2004, Danielle weakened from a depression to a remnant low. That might partly explain why. However, it was further west, I agree.

It is a TS on that chart, well that is how they usually display tropical storms on there anyway. (Although looking at the NHC archives I agree it was downgraded to a TD 3 hours before) :P

Edit - Ah there is a slight difference which must indicate it was a TD. :P

See the best path for Danielle:

And scroll down to Table 1.

In any event, that's not even the focus of this topic. Definitely a wave to watch, but will the SAL inhibit development or not? That remains the question.

The point I was making was as well as the waves looking similar both images have ex tropical cyclones just off to the west (Ok so Irene is a bit further north than Danielle was) :P

Here is the dust forecast from the University of Athens :http://forecast.uoa.gr/LINKS/DUST/dload/anim.html
