Very,very,very early as we know being late april but there is a huge area of convection getting close to the west coast of africa and will exit the african coast tommorow.But that may be part of the diurnal daily convection that forms every afternoons and evenings but it is the first time I see a very big convective area about to exit africa.And of course it will dissipate as it hits the water tommorow but it caughted my eye a little bit.If you are not registered to see this full disk pic it is for free.

It wont be too long when we see the first tropical wave being analized by the TPC.

The big area is about to exit africa later today but it will weaken as expected however again it is the first big convective area that holds on for 2 days inside africa this year.

Unbelievable :eek:

I don't recall this much action so early. Anyone want to speculate what it what mean?

Dixie nothing to open eyebrows in terms of anything developing here of course being late april but it may be a sign that things will be active at that part of the world when crunch time arrives by august.Only I saw this last night and posted about it because it was the first real big area of convection inside africa but nothing more and as expected it is weakening already as it hits the water.By the way the ITCZ is creeping slowly northward as is expected as the summer months arrive.

Thank you, Luis. It sure is interesting for April and I've noticed that the ITCZ action is moving every so slowly north -- maybe quicker than usual for so early, I think.

A good deal of convection rolling off west africa but already it is weakening as expected but the ITCZ is pretty active east of 40w now.

The big deep convective area is exciting west africa around Sierra Leone and Ghana tonight.But nothing there to think about any development from that however the ITCZ is very active now in the eastern atlantic.

If you use your imagination,it looks like August in Africa.(Especially on the Dundee Sat)

That is some serious activity for this time of year.

In the 4 years I've had a computer/internet & I have been able to see more data like SAT pics etc,I haven't seen things this active so early.

I dont know if in part the active african blobs are part of the indian oceans warm anomalys right now or other factors are involved to induce this early activity in that continent but if it stays this way when july,august and september roll in then the cape verde season should be very active but let's see what happens down the road.

Wow ...to say the least...still to far south but that activity is sure exciting to see this year...I hope it stays that active this year....Man it sure would make my forecast of 16/11/4 a lot easier to verify

But if this season is active I hope that all be fish storms and not bother anyone and we can track them without having any threats and that would be the best thing to happen but I know that somewhere landfall will occur in the atlantic basin however we have to balance things about tracking hurricanes as all here are enthusiastics to track them and balance that with possible threats.

But it poofed as expected as it hitted the water.However that was a little warmup for things to come later in the summer.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes already Luis! Africa still looks active to me. I know nothing will come from it, but goodness!
