Tropical Wave in C Atlantic (Dropped from Surface Analysis)

8AM discussion.


TROPICAL WAVE IN THE TROPICAL ATLC EXTENDS FROM 19N40W ALONG
14N41W TO 8N38W MOVING W-NW NEAR 15-20 KT. WAVE IS EMBEDDED
WITHIN A NARROW SURGE OF MODERATE MOISTURE AS DEPICTED ON THE
TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY. THE NOAA GOES R SATELLITE
SHOWS THE WAVE AT THE LEADING EDGE OF A DENSE SAHARAN DUST LAYER
WHICH IS LIMITING SHOWER ACTIVITY.

Thats quite a feat to get data from a satellite thats two or three years from launch unless I'm totally missing something.

http://www.goes-r.gov/mission/history.html that web site page for GOES-R GOES-R Scheduled for launch in October 2015 look person did mistake what he wrote or LAUNCH it early because issue other goes sat

huh?

I think he's confirming that yes, GOES-R isn't sched. to go up til 2015 and that the forecaster either launched it early or meant to reference the in-use GOES satellite.

TROPICAL WAVE AXIS IN THE TROPICAL ATLC EXTENDS FROM 18N43W TO
13N42W 09N40W MOVING W NEAR 10 KT. WAVE IS EMBEDDED WITHIN A
NARROW SURGE OF MODERATE MOISTURE AS DEPICTED IN TOTAL
PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY. THE METEOSAT-9 SAL TRACKING PRODUCT
SHOWS THE WAVE IS AT THE LEADING EDGE OF A SAHARAN AIR LAYER
OUTBREAK WITH VERY DRY AIR WHICH IS HINDERING CONVECTION.

Losing convection but we are at DMIN. Should be fine for the next 24hrs, and I think the 48-96hr period should be very crucial for this storm. THOUGHTS: What do you think will come of this wave? Will it dispate and if so how? Will it survive and if so what TWO will we see it in? Would love to see others opinions.

I don't see it doing much - very low latitude and may have a very difficult time as previous one have had.

This one is already dead...

This one is already dead...

In fact,it has been dropped at 18z Surface Analysis.

While it is true SAL is killing the system, cooler cloud tops are expanding
