Wave axis near 17N/33W @ 6pmAST 21st

...this would be "the area northeast of the uninvested ITCZ thing to the east of 94L".

It appears to me that the broad swath of equatorial westerlies are going to wrap up around into it from the southeast. The teeny tiny cell it puffed off had a cold top in spite of 26c water. Unlike the other two, there doesn't appear to be any shear ahead.

Saw that too. This little persisting convection spot could be something developing.

Still not enough to track? Another one just rolled off the coast...that's 4 areas of interest (94l not in this pic)

I expect 94 and the ITCZ one to not develop. The wave looks like it's going to. The CV will have to survive past 25W.

Its a tiny little thing and its pretty north, if that ULL is still nearby when it comes across its doomed...

However we've seen these little area before do stuff and slip under the net and it has been pretty consistant. Don't think its invest quality yet however.
