IMO, shear isn't too hostile ahead of it. So what's it going to do?

Above is thread about the models at long range.I dont think that one will be what GFS and MM5 show but we will see.

No, there shear is letting up and upper level conditions are favourable. See my post with links at http://www.storm2k.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=65331
P.S. Missed you in Grenada last year abajan!

One name: Bertha
Straight from the NHC archives:
"Bertha originated from a tropical wave which moved from Africa to the Atlantic on 1 July."
We are not too far from the 1st of July and the GFS is seeing something form closer to the 1st of July. Normally we should just sit back and laugh- but water temps in the deep tropics are anything but normal. So, we might have to at least consider the possibility of another early CV storm. Beyond that, it's just a waiting game.

Warm SST's are one of many things you have to have to get a tropical cyclone. The water could be boiling and conditions could still be unfavorable. Shear..even light shear..can kill off an incipient TC. Dry air (yes there is dry air over water) will prevent development as well. IMHO the curtain will rise on the Cape Verde show a little early this year..possibly in a couple of weeks as conditions out there become more favorable. But right now I think any development is unlikely.
