Isn't NASA conducting an experiment on waves moving off the coast? I would guess NHC would be allowed access to that data.

It's weird the way the whole basin "flashes on" positive suddenly. Is it an MJO shift? NAO influence? Atmospheric change? God forbid it was something like Methane Mikes EMF's? (LOL)

Looking at sat pic this morning this one looks like it actually got a little better organized during the overnight hours. Looks more promising for TC development than other CV waves this season.

It will not make it. None that have liked good coming off the AF coast didn't ever make it. Don't see why this one would. JMO

Cause more models picked up on this than the waves before, and it's later into august ? I think It has a pretty good chance..

On the contrary by looking at visible loops on NRL this morning, it already looks like a TD.

It's possible to confirm a LLC or we are just seen an open wave.

Ummmm....maybe because we're now getting into the Cape Verde season? Just a hunch.

There has been a MJO shift, though the wet phase just barely reaching the EATL now. I don't think the NAO is up to anything really shocking, so it probably just has to do with +MJO occuring as we approach peak season.

But my guess is as good as yours. :wink:

At what point does quicksat run to see the wind around the invest? I'm curious at what point NHC would consider upgrading to a TD... 96l is looking pretty healthy this morning.

That's why I was asking if this was still an open wave.
