The Parade of tropical waves starts

Here we are on the 10th of May and already 4 tropical waves are traveling thru the Atlantic Basin.On average around 100 tropical waves tracel from east to west and many of them make it into the Eastern Pacific where some of them start to organize if the conditions are right.Right now wave #3 (Blue Line is the position by 1500z on the 10th) is poised to affect the Lesser Antilles by late thursday with scattered showers.I will watch the area east of the islands as something may get going more early than normal due to the very warm sst's at the MDR (MEAN DEVELOPMENT REGION).As the factor about ENSO is now clear and that is no el nino thru at least the Northern Hemisphere Summer the main factor now will be how the Azores and Bermuda highs will be in terms of position and strengh and looking at how this factor will be will tell ushow the steering of systems will be.

???????? The Australians still don't think it is all that clear, and it is only May.

Shear is still way too high in the Atlantic and Carribean, but it's relaxing a bit in the EPAC ... could get our first development there sometime soon.

True ... I think it's pretty clear, though - at least through August, maybe September too ... We'll see. :-)

Yes. NOAA also predicted landfall for Charley to be Tampa Bay. Things can change.

By the looks of the latest satellite picture there is a very healthy wave moving off the African coast tonight. The train is beginning to roll!

Dry air,shear in the area will preclude development as already is occuring with convection fading however as I said in first post the parade of waves has started and as time goes by very fast the time will come for the Cape Verde Season to open it's gates but not yet.

There are currently some impressive flare ups going on in the E. Pacific. These things will get interesting as the season is only 4 days away from starting there.
