Re: Strong tropical wave emerging from african coast
If it recurves but becomes an intense hurricane I will find it interesting, but just wait and see.

The models seem to be backing away from strengthening the Bermuda high in recent runs, though they do seem to be suggesting that the eastern Atlantic troughs won't be digging nearly as far south either, so anything that forms from 60W westward would have a better chance of hitting the US post Danny.

Not sure what makes you think this is a recurve? Remember most of the hurricanes that effect the EC and specifically Florida come in September/October. Come September the BH starts to build and we get more long trackers. IMO, the timing of this wave will bring it near the Caribbean area in a week or so and I bet we see a stronger Bermuda High and a long tracker. Will it become a named storm, not sure, but it is a good looking wave rate now.
Actually I saw a model run that had it lifting almost nw several hundred miles east of the islands. Also KWT is also saying that the models are backing off of a strengthening bermuda high in the next week or two. I realize anything can happen, but I'm not going to get too excited about a wave in this general area until the pattern has changed and right now it looks to be pretty much set in.

There will always be periods of strong High Pressure in September... its just a timing issue. If a storm is out there when the High builds then look out.. 2004 was nothing but east coast troughs for the first 3 months then September came and the High built in and we all know what happened after that.

Re: Strong tropical wave emerging from african coast

Things looks pretty favorable for future development but as we saw with Bill, large disturbances usually take a few days to get going.

Re: Strong tropical wave emerging from african coast
Looks like this baby is going to start cranking up when it gets further west. I see hurricane written all over this wave. It sure looks alot better than yesterday and it didn't take long for the convection to refire.

The thing that makes recurving even more likely is Danny's remains should more slightly ESE across the Atlantic as it rotates around the main upper low and thats going to cause enough of a weakness to lift out this system somewhat. Whilst it obviously won't do the job totally once you got a system at 20N/50W then its unlikely that the system will make it unless a very strong high builds in.

Re: Strong tropical wave SSE of CV islands
I am surprised that it has not been introduced yet by TPC at TWD,although NHC mentions is a wave at TWO.

Yeah... going to be some interesting days ahead with this wave and Danny. Conditions look pretty decent ahead of it and this could become a powerful storm. I just hope a strong HP doesn't build in if it makes it near the islands.

I agree. I don't believe this one will make it very far west due to the weak Bermuda High and the pattern we've observed so far this year.
