Re: Possible development off W Africa (near 30W)
This one being a low tracker could spell problems for alot of people if it really gets going. It will be hard to get a trough to recurve this one. Whatcha think?

GFS is predicting a low-tracking system if I remember correctly.

you don't need a tough to have a storm to recurve. Helps but don't have to have one.It has a lot to do with steering patterns and where the highs are and the lows are.
