Re: Strong Tropical wave SW of Cape Verde islands.
I don't know enough about weather to benefit any conversation with this wave, I just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who is posting about it and other waves as well, I follow every topic dealing with waves, TS, HUR no matter where they are progged to make landfall. What you all do is amazing and I appreciate all your time and effort!!

Re: Strong Tropical wave SW of Cape Verde islands-10%
I don't think they will invest it until 30%, but best track has one eye on it from now

Probably not until the models give it some more love. None have it developing at this point. GFS keeps it intact for the most part and develops it a bit but opens it up before it gets to the Leewards.

lol if you watch the loops then you would see that convection is increasing...
If by poof you mean it's about to weaken to nothing then I would say it still has life in it...

12zECMWF looses the 850mb vorticity by Friday and the 18zGFS keeps a well defined 850mb vorticity throughout the trip thru Hurricane Alley....Interesting wave to track the next few days

Shear doesn't look all that strong out there over the next several days, surprisingly. Main issue is there is a lot of dry, stable, sinking air all the way into the Leewards as seen on wide view Atlantic WV loop. That alone should keep this system in check. Has a nice spin though and I believe the 10% chance makes sense but any development is going to be very slow. Chances are this won't develop folks and my prediction is that it will not, it's early to be looking that far out anyway.

The convection seems to be waning to me.

Re: Strong Tropical wave SW of Cape Verde islands-10%
This wave I don't believe will become anything in the next 5 days, but once it gets into the Caribbean it could be a different story

Re: Strong Tropical wave SW of Cape Verde islands-10%
I have been watching this little guy and though it lacks convection due to the stable air moving with it, it does have good rotation. See here. Nice structure.

If there is nothing before... then just ask

I believe the sky is falling...

Re: Strong Tropical Wave East of Windward Islands-10%
Even though we are a good 4-6 weeks from the typical start of the cape verde season (past noteable exceptions aside), this is a reminder that we will need to start looking all over the basin for development!

Re: Strong Tropical Wave East of Windward Islands-10%
Not looking bad at this time. The big test for the wave will be if it survives the sal that is in the Atlantic.
