Tropical Wave WSW of the Cape Verde Islands
This tropical wave seems to have a good MLC but could this develop farther west

I noticed this large wave yesterday as well when I looked at the TWO. In my opinion it has to first cross the Sahara dust before any potential development occurs.

It's a good looking storm for this time of year, but I'm very doubtful it'll develop. First it will have to push through the intense Saharan Air Layer between the Lesser Antilles and Cape Verde, and then make its way through intense tradewinds and at the moment increasing wind shear in the Eastern Caribbean. Conditions in the western Caribbean don't seem to be all that great either. (Forecast track based on 700-850 mbar steering flows) I may be proven wrong but I think the chances are very slim with all these obstacles in its path.
