Re: Tropical Storm Colin Fizzles and Tracking 92L

Am I going nuts or is there rotation in the ITCZ blob following ex-Colin and 92L (~48W and 8N)?

Look at the last few frames. Are my eyes deceiving me?

I'd also think the 8N/48W blob would be too far south to be a major concern. Reading through the last discussion I found no mention of it.

Searching for storms developing that far south I only found the 1990 Fran, a minimal TS that ran into South America.

It's okay if I'm nuts. It helps at work.
