African low has potential

Looking at the various long range models all carry either a strong wave to a closed low towards the antilles in about 6-7 days. Even the nogaps at times during the next 6 days closes a LLC. The 18z GFS also looks very interesting:

It looks pretty well organized at the moment. The only problem is that the western band is taking away from the center. I say this has a chance at tropical depression over the next few days. The quickscats show a partly closed system with a few areas of 30 to 35 knot winds. We will see :)
