Climo says the CV time of the year is approaching.
Now guidance is starting to hint towards the CV season developing.
So is it time to say "Gentlemen, start your engines?"
I do. I think the 2010 Cape Verde season is about to open up shop. Something tells me a month from now, we will have seen 2 or 3 major hurricanes spin out of the eastern Atlantic...

ON THE MEDIUM TO LONG RANGE...LOOKING UPSTREAM OVER THE
ATLANTIC...MODELS SHOW THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AT 250/500 HPA
LIFTING NORTH TOWARDS THE AZORES...PAVING THE WAY FOR A BROAD/DEEP
TUTT OVER THE EASTERN ATLANTIC TO RETROGRESS TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST
CARIBBEAN. AS THE PATTERN EVOLVES...VERTICAL WIND SHEAR ACROSS THE
TROPICAL ATLANTIC IS LIKELY TO EBB...THUS MAKING IT MORE CONDUCIVE
TO CYCLONE FORMATION. THE GLOBAL GUIDANCE IS RESPONDING TO THIS
SCENARIO...AS THEY ARE STARTING TO SHOW RISK OF CYCLONES
DEVELOPING OFF THE COAST OF AFRICA. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE LARGE
DIFFERENCES AMONG THE MODELS ON THE TIMING...THE RISK OF FORMATION
IS WHAT COUNTS.
Cape Verde season begins?
