Tropical Depression 8 Forms Off Of Africa..

As expected the very nice wave that came off the coast of Africa the other day has formed into Tropical Depression 8! It is small, well put together but has very negative conditions to face and will most likely fade out fast or move up into the North Atlantic.

The wave behind it however... may last longer and stay further south.

Really worth watching, not so much for any real threat to the mainland United States or even the island as much as for the sheer joy of watching a beautiful wave pull itself together into a pattern of power, pull together and spin far out in the Atlantic Ocean.

Truth is I've watched storms form in the Pacific and enjoyed their symmetrical beauty but this is my ocean and my side of the world and anytime I see a Cape Verde Wave spin up into a Cape Verde Tropical Depression.. I am always impressed. Even if it will be a Fish storm down the road.

Nothing wrong with fish...

So, Good Shabbos and have a beautiful fall weekend and I'll be back Saturday night with more info on both these tropical systems.
