What do the early signs show?

#1 Postby JTD » Tue Jul 06, 2004 3:14 pm

Hey, guys. First post here in months.

I have a question for you. Based on the signs right now (world-wide) would you say that we are heading towards an active and powerful CV season, just an active one or a below-average one?

If you had to predict right now, should people in hurricane-target areas in the U.S and Canada be concerned or optimstic?

Of course, July is too early.

Jason I think the consensus on the board is that we should have an active season in general. It seems like the CV train is chugging early and the water temps across the Atlantic basin are running above normal. When some favorable or at least less than hostile upper air conditions develop I think things are ripe for a big season :-)

SAL

#6 Postby hurricanetrack » Tue Jul 06, 2004 4:29 pm

That SAL has really been a pain in the rear since I first really learned of it in 2002. T.S. Dolly was looking great on sat pics and it had all the makings of a classic hurricane. Then, it was like a large balloon filled with air and someone popped it. The convection died off and it withered away almost into nothing. It was blamed on the SAL catching up to it and drying it out.

Oh well. Now we can track the SAL at least and know when it might rear up and take a bite out of any tropical troubles.
