Well right now the shear over it is really high, but the shear in front of it decreases dramtically.

Well it looks like everything this season is going to be rare then. Rare this, rare that, I don't see how Alberto was rare at all. If you want rare, Zeta should speak for himself.
What affecting it right now? or is it just loosing some of its signature for now reason.
It has this pattern that I explained on another page where these waves have "up's and down's". They look sick but then come back better then ever. It has done this non-stop during the past 4 days. It's not going anywhere guys

Actually guys this wave to me is showing signs of going poof....besides shear is still a bit to high!lets see what happens in the coming days.
This thing looked like it was going to Poof 4-6 times already. It's not going to poof this time or the next time. Read above.
I watched him about 30-45min ago and he said that the waves aren't expected to develop. Ill keep an eye on them just in case. And i think we'll have to see this one in the morning as its not impressive now.
The waves aren't expected to develop right now. Give it a few days.

Bear in mind that the vast majority of waves do NOT become cyclones.

I don't think tis even going to develop, if it continues this WNW Track this wave will run into the East Coast of the U.S.

Yep. I have that in mind. There has been tons of waves already (30-40) I think.

Now your changing your mind. It's going to run into land sometime later down the road so it has time. I'm not sure about the US though.

Well earlier there was a thread about someone saying that this wave was headed towards North Carolina. For someone reason that post has lead me to think that if this does hold together it might hit somewhere along the East Coast. Now why it may not develop is one it hasn't held up any strong convection for very long periods of time, two shear is way to high over it right now, and three if it does get into the Atlantic the SSTs aren't warm enough to support tropical development.

ahhh, looks can be deceiving. If our wave was blowing up with convection, there would be many people chiming in regarding its potential.
When I look at this wave, I am VERY IMPRESSED. Although it doesn't have the convection, I am forecasting it to blossum after passing just west of Jamaica where the shear is alot lighter.....
We need to watch it. I give it a 40% chance of development in the NW Caribbean come 3-4 days.

How can this hit North Carolina? That would be a weird track if it happened (it won't). It's past the east coast now. Also, everything else like the SST's and shear will change later (like you said earlier but now has changed).

But don't you think right now its a little too high in latitude for huge development (notice the word "huge")? Right now its moving WNW, which would help a slow movement towards the Atlantic and right now the Atlantic isn't as warm as it is in August.

ABUNDANT TROPICAL MOISTURE AVAILABLE AND THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
ARE PRODUCING A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN 150

Actually if you extropolate a WNW movement that would take it through the Yucatan Channel. Only way this thing gets pulled up the East Coast is if it develops now and I don't see that happeneing for the next few days.

If the wave in the Carrib. right now somehow managed to get to the east coast of the U.S. I would be HIGHLY amazed. Looking at it's path and current location, I would say that the chance of that is about the same as a Cat. 5 forming in January.HurricaneHunter914 wrote:I don't think tis even going to develop, if it continues this WNW Track this wave will run into the East Coast of the U.S.
