impossible to tell. Although steering currents will be pointed storms more into the gulf and towards the north atlantic this year. As opposed to last year.

We now have the second tropical wave off Africa. Satellite image and info below.
...THE ...
THE AXIS IS CENTERED ALONG 2N10W 2N20W EQUATOR AT 34W THEN
1N43W INTO NE BRAZIL. CLUSTERS OF MODERATE/ISOLATED STRONG
CONVECTION COVER THE AREA FROM 3N TO 9N EAST OF 20W TO THE
AFRICAN COAST. A SFC TROUGH WAS ANALYZED IN THIS AREA ALONG
15W/16W ON THE 12Z SFC MAP. THERE SEEMS TO BE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO
SUGGEST THAT THIS COULD BE A TROPICAL WAVE. SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS A WELL DEFINED INVERTED V-PATTERN. THE HOVMOLLER DIAGRAM
ALSO INDICATES THE WWD PROPAGATION OF THIS SYSTEM DURING LAST
TWO DAYS...AND THE BAMAKO SOUNDING SHOWED THE PASSAGE OF THIS
TROUGH/WAVE BETWEEN APRIL 30 AND MAY 1ST. BASED ON THIS DATA AND
THE TIME OF THE YEAR...A TROPICAL WAVE WILL BE INTRODUCED ON THE
18Z MAP.

Well probably nothing will come of it out there. Possibily if it breaks off into the gulf in 2 weeks it may spin up a LLC similiar to alberto or barry which would bring it into a good time frame, . Its kind of rare to see full waves roll off africa so soon.

Went google searching earlier because I was surprised that there hasn't been an official name retirement announcement for last year's list; usually we find out in April and we're well into May. hasn't updated their storm name list, but according to sources over at S2K (not offficial, but I believe them), there were three names knocked off last year's list (which is due up again in 2013). Dean is out, Felix is out... no suprises there. Noel was iffier because it did all it's mayhem as a tropical storm, but it out also. The new entries are Dorian, Fernand, and Nestor. The active span we've been in for the last dozen years or so has really eaten away at the original set of names, at least in the first half of the alphabet.

Interesting... Looks like they are doing some kind of test run. They just issued an advisory dated 9/13/08 for "Ophelia" with tropical storm warnings and hurricane warnings for South and North Carolina. You can see it on the main page listed under "Noel".

The keeps coughing and nudging everybody's collective side with a northward-moving west-Caribbean sort of feature at the end of the month. I'm starting to pay attention, since run after run it keeps showing up. It might be some sort of -induced flareup... haven't looked into that, but know the Indian ocean cyclone at month's beginning and subsequent Westpac activity has been that sort of thing.
Always have to be suspicious about things the models show trying to emerge in that neck of the woods, since oftentimes they tend to get shoved westward into the Pacific... or just sorta wallow over Central America and never organize. has been surprisingly adamant about something trying to be there, though; starting around Memorial Day something might try to cook off.

Fun with models... reminds me that I need to see what changes they have introduced to the Tropical Models this year. Nearly always have a tweak or two here and there.
Model Updates
Most of the folks around the Atlantic and GOM coasts and beaches will probably have a 3 day weekend and Barbeque on their mind and not much else.
The Florida Hurricane Season Sales Tax Holiday has been eliminated this year.

nice 18Z package.... if it holds, i could see a LOT of rain thurs/fri. MUCH NEEDED rain... although this looks like it may cause problems if that cutoff low coming out of the mx.. hits this sub-tropical jet.... we may get soaked bad....??? (heck.... one year ago... it was hot as hell from the High pressure over head... and all the forest fires.... what a difference a yr makes....)
*** side not... long range models are getting a little jumpy... especially around the first of the month....***
I was thinking we may have something to talk about on the holiday weekend

GFS won't let the idea go......12Z run this morning puts a 997mb low smack dab in the middle of the Gulf on the morning of the 4th. It's persistent, but I am obviously skeptical.

Persistant or consistant. The has now been joined by the (Canadian) and (Euro. Med Range Model). Looks like a train of models are onto something... repeat something.
Here is the last paragraph from today's Extended Forecast Discussion from HPC .
