It has been pointed out to me that a trailing wave blocks the SAL, allowing the leading wave to develop (which makes sense, since the SAL overtakes from the rear

Interesting ...

I'll watch for that phenomenon.

awesome loop calamity. Look at all those waves that came off and nothing forms. Lets see if that changes.

Most of these impressive clusters vanish when they hit water, but some like Jeanne in 1998 dont, in fact she was a depression when she hit water.

And there's this gem: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_w ... elim03.gif

But Jeanne 98 was a September storm, and the storm whose report I linked to was an August storm... you just don't see systems hitting the ground (water) running this time of year...the July storms to do it (Anna 1969, Ceasar 1990, Alex 1998) all formed in the last week of the month.

That is so cool. She became a depression and didn't even hit the water yet! She formed on Africa! Tropical Storm Christine sure is odd. However, she also died right in the prime area where the waters should be hot and ready to make her explode. I don't know why but I can look it up.

Tropical Storm #6 of 1988 also formed very close to Africa.

That wave over Africa looks like it has some cyclonic turning aswell.

Funny thing; I counted about 20 other waves that looked like that in the loop I posted.

So, according to Derek, SAL likes it from behind :wink:

I keep watching not the area just off Africa,but the area almost in the central part of the continent.

HurricaneHunter914 · #33 Postby **HurricaneHunter914** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 7:24 pm

That area just off Africa is holding nicely probably not much in the way of development but nice to watch.

yeah same with me. Here is another shot of it though:

It's quite an intense area of thunderstorms as Luis has pointed out:

If you recall the first post of this thread I said about an area I was watching in the Central Part of the Continent of Africa because of some pressure falls in Niger.Now here it is about to emerge Western Africa.But it will fizzle for sure as it's not the prime time yet for systems to develop that far east.But anyway it's interesting to follow these waves thru the African Continent from the Eastern part to the Western part.

Wow! Is that snow!?!?!?! :lol:

Another nice wave is getting ready to emerge in another day or two.
