The Eastern Caribbean storm right now probably has the better chance of development. Temps are warm, shear is decreasing, and dry air is limited. Its almost like the Caribbean wants this wave to form.

If we do, the boards will be going crazy again, just like when Alberto reached 70 mph.

I don't know if many people will like that statement from Eglin. TX and LA are not the best places for a storm to hit right now.
Can some please post the link to this site? Thanks!

I understand that this (the E Car. waves) does not meet the qualifications of a TD right now, but what are the perimeters for issuing an invest? I always thought that invests were just areas of strong interest and had a better than average chance of development (obviously many don't).
Learning moment here. What are the qualifications for an official invest?
Thanks!

yeah, it is about 6-8 days out, so no need to panic yet, but I would definitely stay alert.Rainband wrote:Relax it's a week away or more.Portastorm wrote:Considering how healthy this wave is looking right now ... and JB talking about a "pulse of development" next week in the Gulf ... and how wet the GFS is looking next week for us in the western Gulf ...

I'm not buying plywood yet

Again, for a wave so early in the season ... it's satellite presentation is "robust."

Impressive wave. Both of them! It will be interesting to see in a few days when the Puerto Rico wave hits the western Caribbean. It looks like the waves are about a month ahead of time.. this is more typical of July than June. However I imagine they will weaken by the end of two weeks or so if the MJO leaves the area.
