Good wave - lots of deep reds holding together over water. Wave watching is fun.

Very nice, but low. We will start seeing them creep north as the season gets going.

I heard the ITC is a bit south of where it should be. Does this lessen the chance of Atlantic recurvature during the Capeverde period? I'm guessing we will have a lot of long trackers?

I knew the wave was gonna die but I wanted to show you guys a little something, unfortunately I wish blobs of convection can form too.

But we're gonna need something like THAT in the Atlantic to form. Not a few balls of convection.

See that long skinny cloud southwest of the CV islands? That's a cold front....tropical waves are like lemmings going over a cliff.

So you are saying this tropical wave will go over the cold front?

Though there is a lot of cloud cover I pretty sure i see a eye though there is clouds in the eye. Where do i see this look the #10 just W of Africa and look at bottom left block you have to have the image large and in motion to see it

I have to admit I'm a wave and blob watcher,and have been all my life. Just a few more days people!

Here's the latest:

It's obviously dieing, I won't post any new pics unless it revives but here is the latest shear.

I see shear has been on the decrease around this area that's pretty interesting to note..

Actually shear has been below normal along that area in the atlantic for the last couple of months. If I find the graphic i saw I will post it.

yep it is falling apart it is still a little eary for something to come of Africa and form

Way too early for a CV season--right? Don't most of our early storms start a lot closer to home? 8-)

Cool link though.
