Now look at the loop - which I like that they are 3 hr intervals instead of the 6 hr METEOSAT loops ... since the NASA site data is missing from the DATA selector.

Holy cow!!! That one that just came off the coast looks like a mini TD already!!! Have you seen any pressure reports from Dakar or that area? Likewise wind reports? I'm not hallucinating that definite spin with what looks like outflow and banding trying to develop am I?

How about the cluster of storms and energy that is in the middle of Africa? That looks pretty impressive too if I must say. Looks like the CV is starting up soon.

Since typically the CV season doesn't start until August 15th, it's been a bonus start.
