2021 Tropical Waves Thread

[chaser1]

One has to really wonder if tropical waves look as healthy as they do right now, what the heck will August look like

Probably like a game of pinball on multi ball mode. Maybe we can get even more ridiculous than last year.

Talk about having to keep our heads on a swivel LOL, huh??

Tropical Weather Discussion for North America, Central America
Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, northern sections of South
America, and Atlantic Ocean to the African coast from the
Equator to 31N. The following information is based on satellite
imagery, weather observations, radar and meteorological analysis.

Based on 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
1730 UTC.

...TROPICAL WAVES...

The axis of a tropical wave is near 32W south of 10N, moving W at
10 to 15 kt.Scattered moderate convection is noted from 01N to
10N between 29N and 38W.

I suspect the wave axis is a little farther west than 32W now, considering it was analyzed along that LON and moving west at 10kt on the 12Z TWD...

The axis of a tropical wave is near 32W S of 10N, moving W at 10

01N to 09N between 28N and 35W..

Poof.

I've noticed this on Satellite on Windy . . .



And it's labeled as a tropical wave, very close to Cape Verde . . . (Link: https://ocean.weather.gov/UA/Atl_Tropics.gif)

[AnnularCane]

Probably won't do anything (maybe?), but so beautiful!

[Teban54]

The waves this year are seriously impressive as they exit Africa, dating back to as early as May. One or more of those later in the season will probably find good conditions to develop and potentially wreck havoc...

The waves off Africa continue to be impressive this year..will this continue into early August will be the big question when the favourable conditions return to the atlantic

Favorable conditions in the Atlantic should come back in about a week.

It is still too early for this beauty to be anything but "skin deep"

[cycloneye]

No mention on the 2 PM TWO.

[abajan]

Impressive.

[HurricaneEnzo]

Nice wave time to see if it can survive the splashdown and hold together.

[aspen]

Impressive.

If waves come off this low and this impressive once the suppressive CCKW moves out and peak season begins, watch out.

[Nimbus]

ITCZ hasn't migrated north yet but that didn't stop Elsa.
Hopefully the SAL will keep it from developing, or there will be trough shear near the Caribbean like there is now.
The North Atlantic Oscillation was favoring an Atlantic ridge that would keep storms moving west but that could change by mid August?

[cycloneye]

Edited the title to change the longitude location to 24W from the 8 PM discussión.

A tropical wave is in the E Atlantic from 05N to 21N with axis
along 24W, moving west at 15 kt. Numerous moderate to scattered
strong convection is noted from 07N-13N between 15W and 24W.

[Category5Kaiju]

Doubt that wave will do anything, but the fact that the ITCZ is this active during a suppressive phase I really do think is a warning sign for the rest of this season.

Its the sudan Wave I made a post about! yes i am rooting for this guy.

[AlphaToOmega]

That is much farther north than waves have been developing this year. Elsa developed at a really low latitude.

[cycloneye]

Edited the location of wave to 28W according to the 2 PM TWD.

A Atlantic tropical wave is near 28W from 22N southward and
moving W at 5 to 10 knots. Scattered showers and a few
thunderstorms are seen from 05N to 09N between 25W and 29W.

[AJC3]

Convection has significantly eroded due to SAL....

...TROPICAL WAVES...

An Atlantic tropical wave is near 30W from 22N southward and
moving W at 10 knots. Convection previously associated with this
wave has diminished, partially due to dry and dusty Saharan Air
Layer present in the vicinity.
