The sunset frames on Thursday showed an exposed center that was obviously invest worthy.
Will it persist is the question.

SAL has really finished off storms these past few years, it's almost annoying.

For the average storm watcher 20 years ago, SAL data was not readily available. Promising looking waves usually "poofed" before Aug 15th because of climatology. It was a simpler time...

I know someone said that this season is featuring the least amount of SAL since 2005, but I find that hard to believe since basically every development opportunity so far this season in the past month or so has been ruined by the pesky SAL outbreaks. Not saying this should be like 2005 in any way but we were able to have two majors in the MDR that July so obviously you'd think SAL had to have been extremely less present. Also is this normal for almost August to still be seeing these big SAL surges rolling off Africa still?

I think the actual answer is ...

no, that's a normal occurrence for this time of year. I realize people have hard time believing it but there's a very good reason the Cape Verde season usually does not get going until mid August. It's not for lack of waves, it's water temps and dust.

This is getting to be a stuck record in about every Atlantic thread. Remember, just because something happened in ____ does not mean the same will happen this year.

I went back and looked at some of my late July/early August presentations where I had SAL images (below). I've noticed that this year's SAL is a bit less than recent years. It's normal to have a significant SAL in July. Remember a few years ago we had a giant SAL outbreak in August?

As for this disturbance, it still looks like the models are developing the disturbance that is currently moving off the west coast of Africa. You can follow the vorticity and moisture westward to around 35W on Monday, the current location of this wave. That's where/when the Canadian develops a low. I don't think this wave will remain stationary over the weekend.

Afternoon all,

Just a guesstimate but on the visible the low appears to be at about 11.5 and 33 but at the present time I don't see much in the way of storms developing around it.

Okay, this is mighty interesting. It's totally vanished from the TWO. So, is it still an invest? If it is, I don't recall that ever happening. :lol:

An invest can exist without any development potential.

Yes, I know that can happen in theory. But can you recall the last time there was nothing stated in the TWO about an existing invest?

Weird how they put the invest up before the morning visible imagery indicated a poof.
The cloud pattern at sunset yesterday was a classic strong wave that looked like it might overcome SAL.
I would leave the floater on it till -50w to see if it starts picking up convection.
Models can just run it into the Caribbean for now.
