Re: Surprises in the basin

Yeah, see those lines of cloud, cloud arcs actually, out in front of the tropical wave---rope clouds. Bad sign, indicates collapsing convection...and shear is blowing the tops off.....this sure doesn't look like August, it is an el Nino related effect....

little cluster off Fl, has the same look, rope clouds expanding toward the west.

92L is stretching out a little, but also building convection..shear evident there too.....

If the shear doesn't lay off, it'll be mid and high latitude storms only, which is a n el Nino signature too.....
