You right about the African one Rob.
It is far away, but that's where Alberto developed.
I wonder if it could take Al's track?

Some Global models forcast the bermuda high to weaken down the road wich would cause a NW turn and make a fish storm, and the remnents of td 12 are still in a some what of a shearing enviroment so development any time soon is un likely with that system
just a cold rainy night (#7)

they didnt cancel school tommorow. i can see why, but i mean.. dammit. yeah, both of those waves look good again. the 1800z map from the nhc depicts them as having surface lows, and both look ok in terms of shear. the one in the caribbean i think will be better off with upper ridging to the north, if that verifies.. AND if it doesnt run over land, in the long run. immediately the cape verde wave seems better off, since it is free of shear for the time being. also ridging here, supposedly building west some, but theres a trough pretty close by that will probably snatch any development and toss it well out to sea. naw, that caribbean puffball is my next best hope for a holiday. no thanks to gordon.. still, the eerie sky today wasnt half bad.
y'all take it easy.
