Wow, it already looks to have banded convection, much like Danielle did when she emerged. That's a pretty cool image. 96L has increased convection dramatically today as well.

Wow ... already has the look to it ... follow the Dakar, Senegal OBS when the wave passes over (there's already an associated MLC with it) ..

Invest 96L continues to slowly improve in organization ...

I don't know enough about these things to know what it all means. But, you can be guaranteed I'm going to be glued to every post around here regarding it!

Aww, it's like dead now. I was hoping it would leave Africa as a TD :) Still, like every wave, it has to be watched.

well cycloneye, looks like it has taken a hit tonight.. does not look as impressive as earlier... however, we know how it works... by the time it gets off the coast, it could really crank up again... the weaker the storm the earlier in its life, the less chance for recurvature... will be one to watch.. gfs is already all over it....
