A lot of time we think of a strong high pressure ridge as a bad thing. Storms make their way closer
to our neck of the woods. Who would have ever though the ridges over the Atlantic would be so strong
as to basically squash convection along the . Anyone have any model data to suggest how long
these ridges are gonna remain this strong?

that small low that wandered up to the bahamas mid week is now east of north florida, very weak, but present. there's finally a bit of convection on it, but of course this is one of those too little/too late things. since there's nothing else to watch....
gfs has returned to its conspicuous silence. it's been pretty good at bird-dogging systems that did exist and ignoring ones that never turned up this year, so the fact that it sees nothing carries weight. the fact that it's going through two weeks leading up to the peak of the season and nothing is showing up is VERY conspicuous. stuff like that is possible, but it's incredibly rare to go through the last week of august and first of september with nothing happening. hard to expect reality to follow what the models have.

Noticed that the insert on this page is on FL EC radar. Someone thinking there's some potential there, or just that it's the only thing at all out there? The Atlantic is amazingly quiet...we'd probably see more action in Jan.

I agree it's quiet now, but remember things cam bubble up very fast this time of year. We had both Dean and Erin within the same week.

Is that rotation I see northwest of Tampa in the Gulf of Mexico? Is that associated with a low pressure system? Or is that the old 92L wave?

What is in the Gulf of Mexico off the Florida coast is an ULL moving slowly west or northwest. Throughout the day here on Tampa Radar there's been a wave spinning over the state that set off a lot of thunderstorms throughout the pennisula and is expected to cause the same tomorrow.

Well Hank, i think the has been turned back on?  Looks like it and a few other globals are showing something mid-week coming off of Africa... Like the wave train my throw out another strong wave or two. Will be an interesting weekend to see how the Globals respond and show what comes of Africa and we will again see if the and others are on to something, like they were with Dean. Just would be crazy if the next one forms and down the road becomes another strong system, but it is possible... water temps are very warm in the western atlantic and closer to the US. Also will post a link in a few days to Hurricane Hunter AF Tech. who flew into a few times and took some pretty cool pictures.
