Interesting feature near Azores (30W, 37N)

There's some impressive vorticity and convention with this area of low pressure near azores, currently heading north.

850MB Vorticity: http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/w ... oom=&time=

Atlantic Satellite: https://rammb-slider.cira.colostate.edu ... 480&y=9920

Global Satellite: https://www.wunderground.com/maps/satellite/infrared

It is also embedded in a VERY large upper-lever low...

200MB Vorticity: http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/w ... oom=&time=

...and the shear is VERY low in the area at the moment

Shear Tendency: http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/w ... oom=&time=

And the SST are conducive as well.

And in case you want to see...

Atlantic Steering Currents: http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/d ... oom=&time=

Any thoughts and opinions? While I think development isn't quite likely, systems in the North Atlantic in September can surprise ;)

Definitely worth watching until it gets into colder SSTs; convection is surprisingly persistent.

Not a meteorologist, in fact more of an idiot than anything. You should probably check with the NHC or a local NWS office for official information.

Has remained relatively stationary. Doesn't look too bad at the moment...
