Yeah hopefully. Last thing we need here on our coast now is beach erosion from a fish storm. Im too worried about the one off my coast now.

Oh well nice swell to surf on. Sometimes thats the only thing I wane hurricanes for is waves.

I don't think that's correct - the GFS has constantly moved the ridge eastward, and builds a substantial quasi-stationary trough off the east coast of the U.S., by early next week...

I don't think so. The general path at that point sends them fishing.

Had TS Christine had a better environment it very well could have (and been a major storm).

Just to let all know - a storm that forms that far east, at that latitude, usually recurves very early, and, is why the TWO mentions a WNW or even NW motion...

keep in mind that ALOT can change that will keep this storm from being a fish. It's happened time and time again....

This is a very impressive invest. When the NHC starts talking about how it could be a depression before reaching the CV islands, you know this has a good shot. I'd say it has a much better chance at becoming a depression then many others this year.

I wonder, how did the NHC find out if a system right off Africa was a depression or not during the 1970's or even 1960's?

Yes, but, a storm that forms that high in latitude east of the Cape Verde islands is more than likely (probably about 9 out of 10 systems) to recurve very early - due to the spin of the Earth, more than any weather system...

Frank

P.S. A record might be set, if warnings need to be issued for Cape Verde Islands - I don't think it's happened since Frances (1980)...

I was about to say that. It would recurve over time.

very true, but if it stays weak and doesn't develop, this may not be the case as far as curvature is concerned.

NHC can not and will not upgrade this until they have proof of a closed LLC.

with that said, I hope it DOES recurve, because you just KNOW there will be some very strong ones that DON'T recurve...so you want to get as many recurving as you can, because you just know it won't last.....

True, though they might upgrade it solely from satellite or ship observations, since the only land stations are in the path of the system - they wouldn't want to close the barn door after the horse has left...

Per an earlier thread, perhaps the NASA measuring flight is in that area today, and would be of great use at this time...

Still, the model runs forecast an early recurve...

Quite an impressive fish. In fact it is without a doubt the best looking tropical system this season and will be a true Cape Verde storm. But it will no doubt be a fish. I can't see it break the 20/50 rule. In fact with a nw movement it will break 20n before 40w.

yep, I'm kinda excited, might actually have a potential strong storm to track, but I'm still in believe it until I see it mode, because of the other ones. .... :D
