Next African Wave

#1 Postby Meso » Thu Aug 13, 2009 5:15 am

I was just looking at the latest GFS run and it's developing another storm soon after 90L, this would be the wave that's going to emerge over the next day or so.

Currently it looks good and it certainly deserves to be watched as it emerges off the coast.

Interesting that when we are back to a more historical level of activity in the ATL basin, vs. recent high levels, a few waves that hit the right conditions can cause mucho trouble.

GFS loses 90L by the islands and sends this wave over Africa up behind it as a deeper system.

It then recurves it into the Bahamas under an east-oriented Bermuda High.

Odd that originally the models developed TD2 into a decent size storm with 90L following behind as a major until 90L monopolized TD2's inflow and virtually killed it. Now the models are beginning to suggest this next wave will catch up to 90L and somehow they will merge....sounds like a repeat scenario. Will we have waves cannibalizing themselves near the Cape Verde Islands ad infinitum this season?
