First Tropical Wave analized by TPC in 2006

#1 Postby cycloneye » Thu May 11, 2006 7:10 pm

...TROPICAL WAVES...
TROPICAL WAVE IS CENTERED ALONG 33W/34W S OF 9N MOVING W 5-10
KT. LOW AMPLITUDE WAVE BUT STILL FAIRLY WELL DEFINED SIGNATURE
ON SATELLITE IMAGERY. ASSOCIATED CONVECTION IS CONFINED TO
WITHIN THE ITCZ.

8 PM Discussion.

But folks it's normal for waves to appear in May so dont jump quickly to conclude this will develop because upper conditions are not favorable now in the Tropical Atlantic.

True, I think that some would assume that if the TPC is analyzing it, it must be the first tropical wave. :)

It's getting ever so closer to the Cape Verde Season - let's see if it is more active this year than last year (I would guess yes).

The ITCZ looks pretty solid from Africa to South America at 5°N. If this were July I'd be nervous.

yeah I was noticing the same thing. This wave that Luis is talking about has a pretty decent spin to it actually. Check it out here. At least the UL winds are too strong right now.
