Wave behind 91L (Is Invest 93L)
It seems to have good model support with the Euro, CMC, and now the GFS forms this away from Africa so this may have to be watched as it seems to form from the ITCZ at a low lattitude like Bertha did so those in the islands it would be more than a week away so while its got model support it may still go poof into the night so lets see what it looks like tomorrow or Wednesday before I make any future forecast on this

The 6zGFS shows this getting pretty close to the Southeastern US and does still have model support but 10+ day forecasts usually have very high error rates so its a wait and see to even see if its going to develop never mind where it will go

This system is looking fairly impressive as it leaves the African coastline, may need to be watched if it can keep its distance from 91L

Re: Wave behind 91L
well what would happen if it does get too close to 91l?

Okay guys, just because I want to BE a meteorologist, want to go to school for meteorology, DOES NOT MAKE ME A METEOROLOGIST. Anything I say about tropical weather is either me learning something new, or is just an opinion and nothing more than that. I can almost guarantee you that I will be wrong about pretty much everything.

Here it comes
but should it survives against the persistent hostiles conditions? Let's wait and see as usual.

Re: Wave behind 91L
Conditions actually look decent for it, though model support (or lack thereof) is bearish, in contrast with a couple days ago.
Shear, at least in the eastern Atlantic, is fairly light, there is no major SAL outbreak, and the wave has a substantial envelope of high precipitable water, as noted in the discussion above. Right now it is firing convection fairly decently, and there is a fair amount of turning associated with it, as shown by the reasonably robust vorticity on the CIMMS Wisconsin map.
The enhancive phase of the Convectively Coupled Kelvin Wave moving westward could also help it (and all systems in the Atlantic), once it gets there.
Not an immediate threat to develop, but worth watching as it moves westward.

Re: Wave behind 91L
Decent looking wave fairly low latitude with no SAL issues for now. Suspect this will soon get tagged.

Re: Wave behind 91L
There you have it

A tropical wave located south of the Cape Verde Islands is producing
disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. Any development of
this system is expected to be slow to occur during the next couple
of days while it moves westward to west-northwestward at around 10
mph. After that time, conditions over the central tropical Atlantic
are expected to be unfavorable for development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.

Re: Wave behind 91L
Shower activity associated with a tropical wave located south of
the Cape Verde Islands is showing some signs of organization. This
system, however, is forecast to move westward or west-northwestward
at around 10 mph toward an area unfavorable for development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
