Re: Strong Tropical Wave in Western Africa
Ivan,
reading your post without the image. If it's between Cuba and Jamaica turns north, hot does it end up in the Bahamas, the N. Carolina. Does it miss S Florida all together.

It does..east coast trough is cutting off and high is building back from the east and drives it into North Carolina. Interesting run for sure

Re: Strong Tropical Wave in Western Africa
Same here,
The east coast trough you mentioned, would that not be a more early fall pattern verses early July. Just seems a bit strange to be talking east coast trough this time of year.

Seems to be a bit persistent but fighting an equally persistent Bermuda high this time of year as well...so far in the last 2 days,,we have seen model runs from Belize, the Gulf to east coast

Re: Strong Tropical Wave in Western Africa
Hard to believe this isn't the GFS up to its old tricks. The Euro showed it once and the CMC has been off and on with a system. Now that the wave has moved over water, models should start zeroing in on what will happen with it before it reaches the Lesser Antilles.

Late next week? It'll be in the Caribbean by then. Saying it has a 20% chance to develop within 5 days it not a difficult threshold to meet.

Re: Strong Tropical Wave in Western Africa
GFS trending weaker in the short range. A repeat of TD4?

I don't think dry air will be a problem. Have a look at this video.

Re: Strong Tropical Wave in Western Africa
Into Belize this run. The fact the GFS delays development is a big red flag. Skeptical we get development out of this at all.

Re: Strong Tropical Wave emerging West Africa
12Z GFS ensembles are still quite bullish but perhaps slightly less than 06Z. One week image below:
