upper lows are everywhere and that ull west of the azores seems to have become a permanent feature. you can also see incredible wind shear screaming across the caribbean. nothing could make it across the atlantic right now

West of the Azores!!
That feature is way, way too far north to effect a wave down near 10N. Now you're just intentionally trying to be contrary, rainstorm. Stop acting like a newbie.

I agree that the presentations, especially on water vapor imagery seem to be a little unusual fo this time of year. It will be very interesting to see how long it persists. There was a year, I cannot recall which one but it was fairly recent, where there was little to no activity in August I believe. I am sure someone will chime in with the information, but then it ramped up in September if I remember correctly.

Conditions have been highly unfavorable this entire season, and whatever develops of the African wave will be sheared apart after about 55 west. That is assuming something were to even develop.fci wrote:Are you referring to what is said in the TWO?
It is referring to the disturbance 450 NE of the Leeard Islands, not the African Wave.
Wouldn't conditions now not necessarily be relevant several days from now?

If we get to Sept 1st with no more storms the rest of the season should produce no more than 5. Just 8 total for the whole season

Hey I like your reasoning and want you to be correct.
However "this entire season" has NOT been August/September; the height of the season.
I think most bets are off going forward for the next 30-40 days or so.
Climatologically, I think that shear lessens considerably during the "prime" season we are entering.
I hope that this season bucks the traditional climatology and stays so quiet that people continue to "gush" over Invests and argue whether 93L should have been called a Tropical Depression!!!!

Oh, and the Pro Mets like AFM and Derek get terribly bored and Senorpepr does not have to give us many "date" and "storms brought to you by letter "-" !!!!!!

It don't suprize me at all Scorpion...It really doe's not any more this season. We are lucky we got Hector for the eastern Pacific. Because Derek ortt is right this season is acting like 1997(Even so he said caribbean only). Let me say that the rest of the Atlantic is acting like 2002. Witch still had 12 named storms in lili and isidor.
