Tropical Storm Fernand 50 MPH... CV Wave Entering Stage Right

Tropical Storm Fernand has 50 mph winds and is strengthening tonight as it's moving into Veracruz Harbor.

However, many meteorologists are watching the wave coming off of Africa. Models show the wave developing .....

Canadian Model takes the wave and keeps it intact halfway across the Ocean.

The GFS Model doesn't develop the wave until around 55W when it goes Gung Ho and it develops in addition another storm behind it!

This little wave is rolling as it comes off of Africa. This little wave has the potential to make it across the Atlantic Ocean. This little wave has a chance to get the G name if it lives up to the early model forecasts.



Enter Stage Right............

This little wave has lots of family members behind it to take it's place if it doesn't make it............



Really, when looking at a picture like this one should play Jaws music........

MOJO getting going in our basin also...



So...as Fernand moves towards Veracruz and other ports of call in Mexico... keep watching as a new wave is entering stage right and some models...some big models like the GFS show it developing..
