Some areas to watch
      #77475 - Fri Aug 24 2007 01:37 PM

1. Southern Carribean, NOGAPS and European Model have at least a depression in a few days as the NOGAPS has a strong TS.. there is convection in this area and it should be watched.

2. May sound stupid but it is the North Atlantic, a low that is developing has the potential to become semi-tropical as the cyclone phase maps on most of the reliable models show this storm transitioning into a warm core storm for a bit then back to extra-tropical.. something like Hurricane Noel (2001) may form. I'm not sure if warm core is exactly tropical but I will watch it..
GFS - http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cyclonephase/gfs/fcst/archive/07082406/35.html
UKMET - http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cyclonephase/ukm/fcst/archive/07082400/26.html
These are the two relaible models that show a possible warm core transition for a bit.

3. A swirl in the Central Atlantic with some convection blow ups has a few peoples eyes on wunderground blogs but I wouldn't give it much of a chance.
So it is possible that we could see Felix in a few days.. I'd give it a 50/50 chance.

I have been studying the models lately with the large low in the north Atlantic.. GFS, NOGAPS, UKMET chnage this low into a warm core storm for about a day or two, the tropical formation probability has a green color which equals a 4% chance of tropical developent. So something like Hurricane Noel (2001) could possibly form out of this low.
The low on satellite looks impressive but I need more of a blow up of convection to call it at least "subtropical", which may happen overnight during durinal maximum.. it's really something to watch.

The GFS, UKMET, and CMC shows another strong CV wave off of Africa in a few days, lets just watch and see what happens.. GFS (ALMOST) has it recurving at 384 hours but if you look closely, it would turn more westward due to a strong high pressure system in back of a trough, sort of what we thought would happen with Dean, it would make more of a northernly movement but not enough to recurve it.. days away and lot's of time to watch it.
