It is getting more and close when this area will be a favored one as those waves roll out of the African Continent.I only am posting about this wave about to come out by tommorow afternoon or evening because the wave in front left moist air behind however a new SAL outbreak is also there so let's see when it splashes into the water what it does but regardless it looks impressive.

It will die like all it's predecessors. I really don't think we should look seriously for development here unitl Mid-August.

I agree.These waves have been emerging off the coast since May and not one has formed.It's still a little too early for anything to form out here.

Beautiful wave my friend!! Good eye! However I would like to give it a few days to see how it behave when it reach the Atlantic waters. I think that the Atlantic area wont be favorable until August and those waves will find hard conditions over there. The majic word is "Patience"!

Hey! The waves in the Atlantic look better also. The one near 50W could bring some rain for Sunday to monday...

I'm getting tired of hearing about SAL! The atmosphere is moister than it been so far this summer. Tune up the resolution on the pix. there is some dust at mid levels, but not enuf to kill a wave now. And it is July. I say ban the SAL talk

The big convective area has held well overnight and now let's see when it emerges late tonight or sunday morning.

I found this observation station at Niger in westcentral Africa that shows pretty low pressures 1007 mbs as the wave axis passed by that station yesterday.

Tropical Waves are now "bombs?" (A weather term formerly typically reserved for intense noreasters like the 1993 Superstorm?)

There are hundreds a year, and a lot of them have some intense convection for a while.

One thing contributing to the manic-depressive nature of the board is the swing between the overhyping of a run-of-the-mill feature and then the "what's wrong with the season, will they have to reduce the forecast?" when said run-of-the-mill feature doesn't do anything.

1007mb in Niger isn't anything stunning, especially if it was in the North near the Saharan heat low, which always has low pressures.

There's currently nothing amazing surface report wise near this wave.

I'm sure it's nothing different from any other board. Plus, as we're eagerly awaiting our first storm, or any other one for that matter, people are always going to look for "signs" on their own to see when the first one is going to develop. Actually, I think it's a great learning experience for people to post their thoughts and then discuss the pros and cons of potential development. Putting a negative slant on posts defeats the purpose of an "open forum".

Exactly.. We're all waiting for our 1st storm.. I'm being a lot more patient.. but I'll admit.. I wish we'd have 2-3 by now lol..

We know we'll start getting inundated with storms in the next few weeks so it's just a waiting game for them to come..

Excellent post stephanie

, as always. derecho lighten up dude!! :roll:

I need to come to the defense of Derecho. There are some on here who use terms like, Bombs and Monster. Andrew was a monster. Hugo was a Monster. Donna was a monster. Camille was a monster.There have been a number of Blizzards that could be described as Bombs.
While i'm venting.Josephine,stated we will be "INUNDATED" with storms in the coming weeks. What does "INUNDATED equal? Five,Six,Seven storms in the coming weeks? Please put a number on the meaning of "INUNDATED"

BTW. Luis,I have the utmost respect for you. You add much to this great board.

What is wrong with using the term "bomb"? It is just an expression for goodness sakes. Lighten up and stop being so nitpicky. Have fun!!

Hey man I am only using those terms to keep the forum active and have the members interested while we wait for the first shoe to drop

One thing's for sure:

If the SAL talk doesn't go away by August, then we'll be SOL !!
