Very interesting that UKMET is showing something at the eastern atlantic and now GFS is not a loner anymore.

[yoda]

true, that is very interesting. But at what strength is the TS? I can't find that out on there...

[cycloneye]

According to this model it would be a weak Tropical Storm but of course it is too far in time to say that definitly it will even be a TD but only a low pressure moving west thru the atlantic but with more model runs from UKMET and GFS we will know more.

[MWatkins]

The fact that the UKMET is indeed backing up the idea that the GFS has been touting for several runs is definately news. It's no guarentee...but it's the first time it's happened with a wave out there this year.

That's good! I would like to see a TS sometime soon!!

Not too fast from the east atlantic because still there is sal around although compared with the past few weeks it has faded away some making conditions gradually more favorable in that part of the atlantic.

From the NWS San Juan Discussion this afternoon:


GLOBAL MODELS STILL LIKE FOR POTENTIAL FOR SOME ORGANIZATION OF
TROPICAL WAVE COMPLEX EXITING AFRICA NEXT 24 HOURS...AND MOVE IT
TOWARD THE NORTHEAST CARIBBEAN BY NEXT WEEKEND.

Could this be the beginings of the active phase for the East Atlantic and speed up the CV season?? August is about to start...Hmmm...we'll see!!

[Brent]

YAY!

We're actually still a couple of weeks from the CV season really heating up. I like to think of August 15th as the start.

[Guest]

I think that in about 3-4 days thats the wave thats going to get its act together.

[Aquawind]

Nice View of things to come..

Might be a active early August..

[Derecho]

You'll note that what's depicted on most of the global models CV-development wise is the wave barely offshore Senegal, NOT 91L which is already beyond 30W.

For example, the 0Z Aug. 1 UKMET text product is clearly not the 91L wave, but begins much further east....

The storm that actually develops on the 0Z GFS is not 91L either, which is barely depicted on the model, but the system just coming off Senegal..

[Aquawind]

Nice blob exiting today/tonight..convection north of 20 even...yeah still dry to the north..
