Low between Antilles and Azores? (sat pic)

Despite the date, it looks like it has a shot for development. Oddly enough, if it were named, then it'd be Ana, which is very close to being 6 years since the last Ana... the only other April tropical storm. Could history repeat itself?

Well, someone had to top "LAKE CHAMPLAIGN" :wink:

For anyone who's curious, that was an actual picture on April 1st (obviously not this year), meaning it's not a named storm :P

Clear as day to anyone observant: you posted at 21:15 UTC April 1, yet your image claims to be from 23:45 UTC. ;)

GAHH Hink... You got me.

I wondered why you posted a GIBBS image. :lol:

And to be clear, I wasn't actually attempting a real April Fools day prank with "LAKE CHAMPLAIGN". ;D

April 1998, right? That's the original?
