Too early for a CV storm. It might make it across the Atlantic and do something in a few days so it will be something to watch for development......MGC

Welcome Weatherboy1 and elking.Hey Weatherboy1 you haved been in gobpi lowes board now known as storm2004 right?Glad to see you at storm2k and you will like it here as we have great discussions and plenty of anaylisis.About the wave if it mantains itself then when it passes 50w it may well be a big player.

KatDaddy is this the wave the people in Corpus Christi NWS office mentioned in their discussions a few days ago or it is another wave? I ask because it would take almost 2 weeks for this wave to travel all the way from where it is now into the GOM.

No Luis, I believe that the wave in the eastern Caribbean is the one that was forecast to go onto the western GOM per the AFD. BTW, why did they drop 95L???? Too disorganized. :cry:

the Corpus AFD was indeed discussing the E Caribbean TW that fizzled over the last 24 hours. Invest 95L is still active for now.

I've been posting at the lowes board for a long while and finally got around to this site. Nice to see all the regulars and most well-informed folks around -- I'm looking forward to discussing this season's storms.

I may not be right but our impressive tropical wave looks better than TD 1-C.

That'd be interesting if a storm from Africa became a development this early

It already looks like a tropical cyclone, just needs to redevelop some of that convection. With maybe some time to develop a little more closed LLCC by the Quickscats showing open on the northern quad. Otherwise by Quickscats standards this might be closed. :wink:

Some interesting commentary and notes from Mark Sudduth at

http://hurricanetrack.com/

TROPICS BEGINNING TO HEAT UP
Take a look at the recent satellite photo below. It shows a well defined tropical wave just off the coast of Africa. This is by far the strongest wave of the season- but there are plenty more to come. The NHC mentioned this feauture on their morning outlook. The word from the NHC is that this wave will encounter only marginal conditions for development. Water temps out that far east are not quite warm enough yet to sustain deep thunderstorms. However, even if it does not develop right away, it needs to be watched since tropical waves that develop further west have more of a chance to hit land. I will certainly keep an eye on the global models to see if they pick up on this system or fizzle it out.

The posts or stuff said are NOT an official forecast and my opinion alone. Please look to the NHC and NWS for official forecasts and products.

Model Runs Cheat Sheet:
GFS (5:30 AM/PM, 11:30 AM/PM)
HWRF, GFDL, UKMET, NAVGEM (6:30-8:00 AM/PM, 12:30-2:00 AM/PM)
ECMWF (1:45 AM/PM)
TCVN is a weighted averaged

Opinions my own.

Now 95L is at the main site of NRL and by the way it is the only game in town around the world in the tropics.

Looks like it's weakening now. Circulation isn't nearly as evident this morning. Convection seems farther removed to the west and southwest of what was the LLC yesterday. Next wave on the African coast looks pretty good, though.

It was expected that the wave would encounter not so ideal conditions in that part of the atlantic and we are seeing the results but let's see when it moves more west and reaches 50w where water temps are much warmer and shear is forecast to fade somewhat however the tutt trough still is hanging around in the western atlantic and caribbean.As you said Chris that wave behind 95L looks more healthy and is what the models are showing some development so we will see what happens.

I don't know, the disturbance looks pretty decent to me. I give better than even chances that it will develop, in a couple of days that is. It may get overrun by the wave behind it though; at least they may compete; which would not be good for development. :uarrow:
