    May as well start the train. This incest will be named Fiona. Staking my SI reputation on this prediction.

    Cyclone Formation in 48 Hours
    As of 2:00 am EDT Tue Aug 16 2016 ...
    A large area of cloudiness and thunderstorms located about 450
    miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is associated with a
    tropical wave. Environmental conditions are expected to be
    conducive for development, and a tropical depression is likely to
    form during the next few days while the system moves
    west-northwestward to northwestward toward the central tropical
    Atlantic.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent
    * Formation chance through 5 days...high....70 percent

    Curious how this massive high off the coast will play in the cards. Good looking out Betty. I'm thinking SI needs to put you on payroll!

    Let the obsessive checking of the NHC and wundergound sites begin!

    Still early enough she could go the southern route but the weather pattern over the east coast would be perfect for a fish storm if she goes north.

    I checked with the boss, and I have as much time off as I want for this event.

    Well on her way to forming a TS. However, still unclear what kind of waves it will produce on EC.

    Cyclone Formation in 48 Hours
    As of 2:00 pm EDT Tue Aug 16 2016 ...
    An area of cloudiness and thunderstorms associated with a tropical
    wave centered about 600 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde
    Islands is beginning to show some signs of organization.
    Environmental conditions appear to be favorable for additional
    development, and a tropical depression could form on Wednesday.
    This system is expected to move toward the west-northwest and then
    northwest over the open waters of the central Atlantic during the
    next several days.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent
    * Formation chance through 5 days...high...90

    I will gladly burn one of Codfish's boards in sacrifice to speed the process along.

    Hopefully this things holds it together longer than the other Fiona(Apple) did.
