I might be jumping the gun. But there is a system that appears to look like a tropical cyclone off around 28 south. Around where that hurricane was last year??? I will be watching the south Atlatnic this winter(Because that is the season to watch it) To see if any tropical cyclones form.

It's just a routine non-tropical low that came off land. Nothing remotely interesting about it.

Haven't checked but I suspect SSTs there are far too low for any tropical development.

If its that blob, then I dont think it is. I just think it is a complex of storms following a westerly windflow.

I just looked at satellite loop. In it appears to be a area of low pressure moving slowly into the south atlnatic. Might be interesting to watch since this is the most favable spot in the south atlatnic. As for seasurface temperatures being to cold. Then the seasurface temperatures was not to cold for the hurricane?

The South Atlantic is just peaking in frigid winter SST's delivered from Antarctica. When I was in Brazil around the 23 south area of the coast they told me winter had long cold rains and clouds...
