Weird no tropical wave train

From the islands eastward to inside the African continent there's no waves and a weak ITCZ. I'm sure its temporary.

You have no idea how happy this makes me. :ggreen: :cheesy: :bday:

I know a lot of people cruise these forums because they love tracking hurricanes. But others of us lurk here because we HATE them and hope that none are coming our way! So keep on posting about the "no wave train" ... but I know we won't be able to say that for long! :(

There was a nice blob a little further north but it poofed when it hit water.

It's still July, wait until Cape Verde Season kicks in.

No waves? http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/tafb_latest/TSA_latestBW.gif

I see plenty of waves. Maybe you are talking about the convection but there is plenty in that wave in the 50s...

yeah I believe that is what he was talking about... the convection associated with the waves.

The waves are there...but as is the case in most Julys (other than of course 1995 and 2005) pressures across the Atlantic are high, and upper winds are not very favorable for any sort of development.

The bigger story...to me...is we may see frontal development off the US east coast in the last 3rd of July.

If this front evacuates and pressure heights build in off the coast...maybe it means very little other than a rouge trough lingering around after a very amplified pattern.

If we see this happen again...maybe we won't see an MDR season after all.

The rouge trough idea is the most likely. I think the pattern is about to change for a significant period of time...but then again I have been saying that for a few weeks now.
