That wave is not welcome here in the sunshine state. We already have Ernesto on our hands.

If so, the lack of SAL should really ramp up the African storm train.

I thought the last wave with such a broad area was going to do something. It had fairly low pressure and looked good. Then, of course, it hit the ocean. I've kinda lost my faith in looking at any wave still over land. Even now at the height of the season, they're still poofing off shore.
