I would watch the distrabance near 10 north/28 west. If it does nothing I expect it to get very very boring. :cry:

bor·ing (bôrng, br-) adj. Uninteresting and tiresome; dull.
boring·ly adv. boring·ness n.
Synonyms: boring, monotonous, tedious, irksome, tiresome, humdrum
These adjectives refer to what is so uninteresting as to cause mental weariness. Boring implies feelings of listlessness and discontent: I had never read such a boring book.
What is monotonous bores because of lack of variety: "There is nothing so desperately monotonous as the sea" James Russell Lowell [I'd beg to differ with Mr. Lowell]
Tedious suggests dull slowness or long-windedness: Traveling by plane avoids spending tedious days on the train.
Irksome describes what is demanding of time and effort and yet is dull and often unrewarding: "I know and feel what an irksome task the writing of long letters is" Edmund Burke.
Something tiresome fatigues because it seems to be interminable or to be marked by unremitting sameness: "What a tiresome being is a man who is fond of talking" Benjamin Jowett.
Humdrum refers to what is commonplace, trivial, or unexcitingly routine: My quiet cousin led a humdrum existence.

It seems to me...if hours upon hours and days upon days are spent doing something "boring" while waiting for something "exciting" to happen, maybe a second activity in one's life might be called for, unless you are getting paid to be bored, which could alleviate some, though certainly not all, of the discomfort.

It just seems like a supreme waste of time and resources to me. Go teach an amatuer weather class to a group of kids (the Y, church, temple, school, day care center)? Then when something is popping, it all comes together not just for you, but for those for whom you've opened the door to your passion.

Sorry, I was just feeling like a wave rolling off of Africa...

Seems like there should've been a "bears watching" graphic posted by now...


this thing looks like the new corckscrew type of hurricane that rotates horizontally instead of vertically and moves thru the atlantic like a drill bit. Im tagging it a "snake" cane.

Convection persistent near 9N/30N, looks good rate now we will see if the convection continues to persist.

It looks good but I think it has to seperate itself from the ITCZ alittle more. Also the azores high looks like its surpressing vertical motion.
