When I said "the fastest clip I can remember," I meant the fastest I could recall since I started tracking tropical cyclones, which was in 2005. And I figured the SAL was a major part of the reason for the Atlantic's low intensity. How, exactly, is the high pressure area causing stable air? Have any storms in past seasons run into a similar problem?
