Tropical Wave South-Southwest of Cabo Verde Islands: (Is Invest 95L)

#1 Postby cycloneye » Thu Aug 06, 2020 10:12 pm

This wave is the one to watch down the road as the models ECMWF Operational and Ensembles are somewhat bullish, GFS the same. This wave will emerge Africa on Saturday and let's see how things evolve.

This already looks like a depression well inland. All the signs of a monster storm in the making

You’d think, but it doesn’t just work like that fortunately. Currently there’s a suppressed Kelvin Wave in the Atlantic so it’ll likely struggle once it hits water.

Still plenty of SAL and mid-level dry air out there but if it can find a decent pocket of moisture it may be able to develop some. The models have definitely been playing catch-up as of recently.

Euro ensemble likes this system and sends it to the LA for Aug. 14 or 15 as a TS. Track similar to PTC9/Isaias

The 00z ECMWF operational keeps it all the way and ends run over PR as a strong wave.

The 12z package of models are vague on this wave with GFS still bringing plenty of rain to PR on the 16th. Even Euro that at least had a good vorticity yesterday now is almost gone although wave can still be seen moving west into the Caribbean.

Unfortunately, this could be in the western Atlantic close to home when the enhanced KW arrives and the switch starts to flip. This may be a sleeper wave to watch.

The GFS has been intent in previous runs to develop this in the western Caribbean from this wave and monsoon trough combo, something to watch around there I would think

Could this be the system that was sniffed out in lower gulf/west carib as a 961mb storm around the 21st??

CMC and GFS are forecasting this to spin up as a relatively deep cold core.

What's that ahead of it? Looks like a giant outflow boundary surrounding it.
