Large Tropical Wave in Central Atlantic

[SouthFloridawx]

Beware the loop is a 5 day Java Loop of SAL.

Looks like dust and dry air is weakening according to the estimates found Saharan Air Layer Analysis @ CIMSS. It's allowing this to "breathe" a bit more and convection seems to be responding accordingly.

Thank you... I am now going to pray to the weather gods for decreased SAL in the Atlantic.

Looks almost like a well-rounded version of the hurricane map symbol...
Spin in the last 90 minutes. This isn't even a t-wave, just popped up.
Here's the loop it came from: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/carb/loop-ft.html

I see that spin, too. We've got a few more visible frames left. Curious to see what happens. Blob watch.
