That sure is a decent looking wave...and you're correct...first one we've seen in a couple of weeks...but...nothing is going to come from it.

If this were August, we'd definitely need to watch, but this wave is going to amount to zilch. Too bad, 'cause I'd like something to watch.

Since it's so dead around here, I've had a chance to read/watch Joe B several times...you should definitely consider subscribing to accuwx pro. At least for the free month trial. I'm not only going to keep it for the hurx season, but all year, as I live in an area that can get some serious winter wx (blizzards, nor'easters, etc.). Might not be worth it for our gulf/FLA posters, but for my neck of the woods...oh yeah. It's hard to believe that less than two years ago Joe B. was FREE, but, then again, that's life.

Anyhoo, back on topic. This looks to be like the real quiet time...probably just as well, as any storms that form during this time of year don't really amount to too much (excluding Audrey & Allison).

All the precursors to an "active" season seem to be nicely in place, looks like the SOI is rebounding, Joe was making positive comments on the MJO in his "longranger" and the soon to be two typhoons in the wPac all presage an active season ahead.

I'll still be watching that African wave, but wouldn't place any stake in it developing. Since it's slow right now, check out the cold tongue off of SA and the warm SSTs in the Atl... plus the really warm SSTs in the westpac. Methinks we're going to have a LOT to track this season, just not for a month or so.

Peace & Cheers,
