System on African Coast will it recurve or move west

I think a massive ridge is suppossed to develop next week and our next player might not recurve like the previous storms have been doing. What do you think?

If Helene recurves quickly and does not get stuck under the High and goes out with the 2nd trough then I would think it is possible that a ridge could build in and keep it turning west.

The next player will run west over the Atlantic the last week of September and may be a threat for the Antilles in the first week of October, as these ridges will reappears in the Atlantic.

The system looks awfully sparse. It convected down again in a minima.

I'm surprised no one has noticed that of all the storms people have been speculating will keep west under a building ridge every single one has recurved. This is a recurve pattern and year folks.

Recurve.

Seems like a storm would have to come off the African coast at the Equator to actually be a west-runner...
