Re: Strong Tropical Wave SSE of CV Islands
10 out of the 13 runs of the GFS have at least a tropical storm hitting the islands. Maybe the models will meet in the middle again with a weak TD.

My first absurd long range impact from a model since I moved to Raleigh. What a great day!

Re: Strong Tropical Wave SSE of CV Islands
glad to see the Canadian and UKMET drop this.
Development, while as I said is non zero, remains unlikely. TOO MUCH SAL. Just look at how fast this is moving. SAL OUTBREAK. If you have a strong low level jet, you have SAL. Worst case may be a Chantal from 2013

@TropicalTidbits
The tropical Atlantic remains anomalously favorable for tropical activity for this time of year. May have to watch the region mid-week.

A lot of GFS ensemble support. I count 17 GFS ensembles there:

Large scale stability is just tough in the July tropical Atlantic even in the favorable years. Always danger lurking

Re: Tropical Wave SSE of CV Islands
Very weak from the Euro. It's more realistic compared to the past runs, where it showed no wave when it was obvious the wave could maintain a defined vort as it tracks across the MDR.

It has it very far south almost crashes in CA. If it was further north like the GFS it would develop. At least it is showing it now again.

Southern position due to it being weak.
Like I said before, the GFS Parallel is a good mean between the OP GFS and the OP Euro.

What to you is considered a strong TW? Btw I'd say development chances are at or near 50/50 right now.
