Tropics just won't stop!

#1 Postby ThunderMate » Thu Jul 28, 2005 11:05 am

Here we go again! another threat of a tropical depression forming within the next couple of days and with a weakening ridge this one is calling the east coasts name. An increase in east coast threats should occur over the next couple of weeks as the African wave train gets under way with less African dust and a weaker ridge allowing the storms to curve around and into the east coast. Any thoughts on where this Invest will be heading and how strong the "H" storm could be when its still even July. All water temps. from Africa all the way across the atlantic to the east coast up to Canada are all above normal meaning vigorous storms possible.

I think its a little to early to speculate where this system may go. Right Now, lets just wait and see if we see something form.

The track depends on how strong the storm is at different points, the exact location of its LLC, and the heading it is currently going. All these questions must be answered before we go on and try to figure out where it will go.

Right Now, the ridge will build in with a strong trough digging into the NE. Now will that be enough to turn the Invest Poleward is yet to be determined.

not only is there the ? of it turning it poleward but what if that ridge that the HPC mentions flattens out and turns it westward and then threatens somewhere further south like Florida and all of this is IF it develops so its just time to watch and wait

what is scary is... this is a lull...

the SAL is stopping a lot of the development... once the SAL clears out in maybe a week more at most, the tropics will likely give birth to 2-3 storms a week through August...

If Atlantic SST's were supporting strong development Franklin would be a hurricane...

I'm confused by that statement... Franklin kept getting it's tops blown off which inhibited it's development

Well, There's nothing in the tropics besides Franklin and the waves, which besides 92L, are looking wavier. Save your panic for the few weeks/months. But if you prefer, panic now and avoid the rush!

Agreed, lets see if it even develops first. It looks like it is still fighting with an upper level low.

Remember the great "Wave Train" of Monday... not too impressive now. A TC is still a rare event, it takes many factors, not just light shear and warm SST. A lot of things have to fall into place. Predicting development and intensity is a crap shoot when compared to forcasting tracks of established TC's.

92L is the only hope left of the Great Wave Train of 2005, and I would give it 50/50 at this point..

ya I think that the tropics are just stoping to make a pit stop and after the dust clears they are going to put in high gear to win the race ;lets hop they don't or else they might spawn 15 more :lol:
1st place= 15+ more named storms
2nd place= 13-14 more named storms
3rd place= 11-12 more named storms
4th place= 9-10 more named storms
5th place= 7-8 more named storms
6th place= 5-6 more named storms
7th place= 3-4 more named storms
8th place= 1-2 more named storms

You're predicting 8 to 12 storms in August?

That'll be.....exciting.
