ITCZ Active Again In Atlantic

Guest · #1 Postby **Guest** » Thu Apr 22, 2004 10:00 am

ITCZ active for April..Warmer than normal SSTs continue in most of the Atlantic basin..A La Nina like signature off the coast of South America with a little over a month to go before the start of the season.

I may have to raise my #'s for the season because we may have 12 by Aug..J/K, but it should be quite active if this trend continues.

I said I would not raise my #'s but if Dr.Gray can do it 4 times before & during the season, I think I can do it once.

Yes its still early & therefore it is far south but I can't recall last year @ this point it being this active(*I could be mistaken*).ITCZ has flared up nicely a few times this year already & like I said I could be mistaken,I cant remember it flaring last year consistently until mid June time frame when TD 2 developed before quieting down again somewhat.

I certainly cant remember saying WOW in April like I have a few times already this year.

If it remains active like this through out the season while lifting North to its normal summertime position, it might be an active season out there,SSTs are sure plenty warm already in the area..That also indicates that the Azores High is not that strong which is another positive for the Atlantic.

I'm raising my #'s.

Stay Tuned.......

Yes, I am watching this closely as well. I may have to raise my numbers too, but I will stay with 13/7/3 as of now.

What is the farthest south a TD, TS, or Hurricane has formed, ever since recorded data began???

I think that the storm/hurricane that hit Brazil earlier this year qualifies for the title of "Furthest South storm"

Hurricane Joan was very far south as she swept across Northern Colombia.
