You know just because there is dry air now, doesn't mean it will stick around forever. And on a seperate note; How many times has the ITCZ formed into a TC.

And we don't really need a Cape Verde storm for the season to be destructive.

Case in point: 2005.

Indeed. If what just came off the African coast holds up (see http://www.storm2k.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=87487 ), we might be seeing the true opening salvo to the CV season.

Here's a good shot of what just rolled off of Africa, along with 2 more large waves over Africa. The 2nd one (farther to the east over Africa) even looks to have a little "swirl" to it.
