African Tropical Waves Machine

Although I'm not going to show anything new the image above shows a new prospective of the tropical waves coming out from Africa, as time goes on, they will move above of 10N and then things usually get interesting. I think if this trail of tropical waves continues, we may see at least a tropical depression developing in the eastern/central Atlantic like we saw last year and in 2000.

Best Wishes,

That is very true. I have a feeling a depression will form in no man's land this year from a T.W. If not June, than definitely July.

Like every year, tropical waves are the only ones that can give us those hurricanes with long tracks, like Isabel and Fabian last year.

Oddly enough, the longest ones, Ginny, Inga, and Kyle were all subtropical lows. But the Cape Verde are always much stronger and are, IMO, true hurricanes.

Agree with you all,there could be a TW that becomes a TD or more out there a little early this season if this active patterns continue.That said things do have a way of going poof fairly quickly when you least expect it, allthough this has got a different feel & look to it this year.
