Looks like since yesterday that this twave continues to be suspicious as a low pressure is attached with it. Even if conditions don't seem especially very favorable let's see what could happens during it trip towards the Central Atlantic.

A tropical wave is in the E Atlc associated with a 1010 mb low
centered S of the Cape Verde Islands near 13N24W.
The wave axis
extends from 19N22W to the low to 06N24W and it has been moving
at 5-10 kt within the last 24 hours. The wave is in a region of
favorable to neutral wind shear. However, the CIRA LPW imagery
show extensive dry air around the low while moderate moisture
with patches of dry air is S of the low. Meteosat enhanced
imagery confirm the presence of Saharan dry air and dust around
the low where there is lack of convection. Upper level divergence
support scattered showers and tstms S of the low from 07N to 11N
between 21W and 27W.

It's riding a quite large SAL outbreak. Slim development chances.
