Tropical wave introduced SW of cape verde islands

That area of deep convection that we are watching for a couple of days off africa now at 30w has been introduced by TPC at the 2:05 discussion.It has a broad turning and it is starting to have some banding too so this system has to be watched to see what it does but we are getting closer to the prime of the season and I think that the CV season will be more active than in the past 3 years.

Chad you can draw a circule on this one when you update the maps.

Looks pretty healthy to me. Will this one make it into the Carribean or head out to sea?
If you look over the African Continent, a few more blobs will be rolling off into the Atlantic before too long. Man 'O Man.

Latest ir imagery suggests that it has organized further and IMO looks almost like a TD.Clearly it has a mid circulation but is it have a surface one is the question.

Yes, it is the first one (to my knowledge anyways) that has held together. It needs to be monitored. Looks organized, but I agree with Luis: is there a surface and when or will it form?

It has the "look" for potential development. It looks like the system east of Bermuda as more circulation than the one west of the Africa.

At this time, I think Danny will be the system east of Bermuda. Would be nice, too. :)

Wow....is this the same one we watched emerge off of Africa a few days ago when Claudette was still deciding exactly where to make landfall?
