My count of significant waves from June 1 is 9. The total since May 15th must be higher than 4.

interesting it mentions a weak low-level circulation. I'm surprised the board is jumping all over that as it moves west at 15-20 getting closer to the Caribbean 8-)

There is also a low-mid-level circulation near Barbados...let's see what happens when it enters the Caribbean.

I looked at that blob next to Barbados, in at least 4 different sattelite images.. just to make sure I wasn't seeing things.. I swear it is going round and round. I am not even educated enough to be an ameature, but I think I see it.

Yes it is, and should continue to do so as the Bermuda High gets more displaced Northward and Eastward in about 5 days. If this position (near 45N/30W instead of 33N/65W) is the norm for the season 2006, we wont see nowhere near the amount of landfalls as in the years 2004 and 2005

They usually disappate right onces the emrge over the water, but if the conditions are right that blob might hold together.

that is alot of convection off Africa but I bet all my money it goes poof shortly after or right when it hits the relatively cooler waters of the Atlantic :)

If it were August I would say here comes our next invest. :eek:
