Enough cheerleading.

Just kidding. Seriously, though, what are your real thoughts? Any comments/additional points or thoughts on the topic, issues, and points at hand? I'm very interested in hearing more thoughts and details. What are your thoughts on my points?


What do you think about the SST situation out there per my discussion above.

I believe you're partially correct on the SSTs in the latitude of Senegal and the Cape Verde Islands vicinity. SSTs have been somewhat cooler in that vicinity, possibly partially due to natural climatological factors for this time of year and due to more SAL output/stronger easterlies and effects from a stronger Azores High cell in the eastern to east-central Atlantic, as well as some other factors. That, along with mid-level dry air and SAL, may have affected 94L by weakening the structure and convective consolidation in a negative way.
