Maybe at 8pm now that the euro shows it much more intact or even develops it along with ukmet.
All because it is much more organized currently than any of the models had shown.

I think it is because the western extent of the 60N high is relatively weak due to the weak E US 500 mb trough. So, it recurves into the relative weakness. The way I see it TCs tend to move to higher latitudes at the first chance they get. This is the first chance it gets to recurve. A big trough is not needed. TCs recurve due to weak troughs weakening or keeping weak the western extent of highs all the time.

No doupt larry though a long-range 6-7 day forecast is highly suspect. Irma was suppose to also recurve at one time not saying this wave will do the same.

Re: Tropical Wave off African Coast
Due to the continuing & persistent -NAO chances of this TW recurving out to sea before the US if it starts developing before reaching the Lesser Antilles like the Euro shows are pretty high, IMO.

Irma's final track happened because it was during a year of persistent +NAO.

Re: Tropical Wave off African Coast
A big surge of deep moisture is coming quickly from the east. looks like it is pushing the dry air from the north out on TPW.

Re: Tropical Wave off African Coast
Forgive me for the stupid question, but do you actually tweet this from your phone or do you have staff that usually handle your user? Does this apply to all other Mets?

Re: Tropical Wave off African Coast
A few out of the ensembles are not recurving. mostly do to being weaker from land interaction.

Very impressive wave for this time of the year, and it’s only July 29th. What are the waves going to be like in a late August and September? Hope this -NAO holds for the next couple of months for the sake of CONUS!

Everything I post is from me. I don’t have a staff! LOL
I post my take of the tropics because of my love & passion for it. I enjoy sharing my educated opinion, and talking with other experts & enthusiasts in the field. Never stop learning.

I bet those come westward with all the dry sinking around so it will take its time to develop if at all.
