Way, way off.... but any thoughts on the next area coming off Africa next week, plodding across the tropical Atlantic- last several GFS runs have it tracking NW in our general direction, re-curving in the western Atlantic while strengthening into a hurricane, possibly brushing the Carolinas in early August.

My gut feeling was and still is for a significant (possibly major) hurricane in the western Atlantic in early to mid-August, with track and landfall potential dependent on the strength (or lack there of) of the western extension of the Atlantic ridge.
