More Conus Landfalls??

#1 Postby chadtm80 » Tue Aug 19, 2003 6:11 pm

Well, it seems like the waves are/will be taken longer to develope? Meaning not developing untill past 50W... Wouldnt this lead to more landfalls and less fish?? The longer they take to develope the more of a W. track they will stay on right?

It would be logical to assume that if a disturbance develops closer to the U.S. that it would have a higher chance of impacting the U.S. - much more so than a storm that developed near Africa. Nothing new there.

Well, I wouldn't use those words, nor did I intend to Chad. :wink:

But your observation is quite valid. However, I'd carry it a step farther. In a year with enhanced CV wave activity (more incipient systems) and above normal Atlantic SSTs, and, assuming that the pattern for no early development continues, then the U.S. would indeed be at greater risk.
