Sanibel, on what do you base your opinion?


I respectfully disagree the Atlantic is prime right now with warmer than normal sst's by Afriacan coastline lower shear and lower than average SAL right now the Atlantic is ready for take off.


And a very very favorable MJO phase.

Another pretty bold statement I must say considering we talking about a system that hasn't even formed yet and may not
ever.


Hey stormcenter coming from anyone else I would take your side but vortex seems to sniff these things out well and also we have support of most models.



Hopefully it will stay way south as it moves westward not that I'm not wishing anything bad on the good folks in Carribean or Mexico.

looks like bertha may create enough of a weakness in her wake giving this system a nudge to the NW at least for 1-2 days before heading back west as ridging builds back in...

Ar hour 108 there are three interesting features. They include Hurricane Bertha (obviously), the low out in the central Atlantic, and also a strong tropical wave impacting the northern islands and heading toward the Bahamas...

Always a pleasure to be useful!!! Going to sleep because the first RECON of the season is likely to be very interesting.

At hour 138, Bertha is still churning in the Atlantic, the strong tropical wave is moving through the Bahamas, and the central Atlantic low continues to grow stronger and stronger...

This is definitely interesting... it reminds me of Dean since I tracked him from when he was a 384 hour fantasy storm. Amazing this is a full month earlier though.

At hour 168 (7 days from now) the 00z GFS depicts Hurricane Bertha moving out, the once-strong tropical wave washing out over Florida, and the strong Atlantic low (likely a tropical cyclone at this point) approaching the northern islands...
