Although it is only mid August, I just do not see how we can get anything going when there is 30-40kts of shear all across the Atlantic. You can not even get a tropical storm in 40kts of shear. I've seen some people post shear forecast maps...do those accurately predict the shear? If so, I would love to have a link to one. I appreciate it. Unless we lose the shear it will be very quiet and it does not matter what month it is.
Have you seen what the pulse of activity has done in the western Pacific? That pulse should slowly move east and arrive in the Atlantic in 1-3 weeks. Once that happens...watch out! Things should get crazy.

BTW, I can not find the large areas of 30-40 knot shear you mentioned on this wind shear map. Looks more like 5-15 knots shear (with a few 20-30 knot pockets). That kind of shear is not too unusual for Aug. 10th:

I see lots of 20 to 30 KTs. That's all it takes. (Chris & Invest 91) It is all in areas where you typically see formation this time of year. Thank God!

You know things are quiet when you are not dreaming of Swirling Donuts night after night when you are sleeping.

You also know things are quiet when your friends and family actually say how rested you look, of course its because you aren't setting your alarm clock for every 3 hours to coincide with all the advisory and intermediate advisory times for all the hurricanes.

You know things are quiet when you have actually discovered other new things to do in the summer time.

You know things are quiet when you go to your doctor aall pale and sad and he determines that you have "Lack of Hurricane Syndrome Denial".

You know things are quiet when you have your girlfriend ask what's wrong when you log onto storm2k and get sad when there are no invests.

You know things are quiet when you log back onto the page every few hours instead of refreshing

:((( Come Mr Atlantic.. I have NOTHING to do... I give myself to thee to track what thy shall to me give... :~(

Are you serious?! :lol:

WPAC tracking is also enjoyable to me so I would disagree with the title of this thread.

I remember about this time last year, the servers at S2K were trying to keep up and not smoke.


I wonder, did they really, ACTUALLY smoke?

You know things are quiet when you find yourself not being able to remember the Hurricane Headquarters Theme Music on CNN from past seasons.
