Vigorous Central Atlantic Wave

#1 Postby Ivanhater » Sat Jul 08, 2006 3:23 pm

I think this wave deserves its own thread, it looks impressive today and is showing some cyclonic turning..

I second that. GFS picking up on it. Any word on NAM or others. I didn't see much on CMC or NOGAPS just yet.

Agree about deserving a new thread although if it organizes more a new invest thread would be posted.By the way also if you look closely a small anticyclonic flow also can be seen.

Always tricky with these this time of year. If they develop before the islands they usually spin fish and they hardly ever develop in the East Carib.

It does look suspicious and at that low a lattitude it looks like a Carib. Crosser to me.

Not necessarily, if it stays on a more westerly trajectory for the next day or so it should not be affected by the SAL. It's been firing convection with it all along.

I'm not going to jump on this until it gets to the islands in the form as it is now at 35W. I don't think its going poof,just a gut feeling.

No doubt, I was just looking at some loops of last year, and the location of this wave reminded me of Dennis and Emily, here is a loop of the 2005 season around the time Dennis was forming, you can see Cindy moving through the gulf while Dennis was just a tropical wave like the one we have now , roughly the same location and structure, not saying this will be a Dennis, just some similarities.

Yeah, this is a good looking wave. As previously mentioned, GFS is showing a healthy wave approaching the islands in the 48 to 72 hour range. Also, the Bermuda/Azores high is strong, but weakening slightly, which could allow the trades to relax a little. This combined with gradually lessening shear give this wave a better chance than other waves I have seen this season.

I agree with the Dennis and Emily comparison at this stage... they started as similar looking waves in a similar location.
