Who would have thought that with not much out there there'd be so much to keep track of I'd get confused.
Huh?

I was over at the western Caribbean disturbance thread talking about this one...

I know that my fellow mod,senorpepr knows about that so he for sure will help you on that question.

Well Stewart says still organizing, and must admit sat has looked that way since about 2-3. This looks like a low rider, though.

yep, gulf of mexico more than likely. Of course the storm will start to be pulled north(like they almost always are, once it enters the Carib sea....I agree with the models on the northwest turn. THIS will be our next player.

I'm not exactly sure why they don't.
We began numbering the waves (and other disturbances) last year. Finished the season with 66. Very high development ratio in 2005. So far in 2006, we're at #36 with the wave that became TD 4. More waves but a much lower development ratio. Typically, about 10-15% develop, so 4 of 36 is about right.

I'm am concerned IF this one does develop about the timing of it. Of course next week is still a LONG ways off, but I'm concerned the ridge that's been over TX/LA for so long will be replaced by a weakness next week and allow this one to slip towards the NW Gulf. For now wait n' see, but I haven't been this interested/concerned with a system since old 98L.
