You may be right Mike, but you must admit, the quality of tropical waves coming off the African coast at this time of year is quite high(considering years before). If this continues throughout the season, then we may be in for a rough ride:(:(. I think people are underestimating this wave in the Mid-Atlantic. Who knows, maybe you guys are right and its just a minor wave that won't develop due to harsh conditions(upper level winds etc.). I for one, will be keeping a very close watch on this one until it dissipates as forecasted(after all, I am from Barbados and its forecast to reach me by tomorrow evening).
