A BROAD AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER IS LOCATED ABOUT 600 MILES
SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES SLOWLY
WESTWARD.

Scroll down to the full disk sectored image at left, and click the left center box. :D They seem to update images every half hour but I see this is the same one. Hmm. Anyways I like this view for the waves emerging off the African coast. The color version is sweet. :darrow:

That low has actually been there at 1010hPa since at least 0900 GMT this morning. It was listed in the MetArea II bulletin I posted in the Azores thread where it said it was deepening, although I notice in the 2100 GMT bulletin it now says it is filling.

I think it will be a depression in the next 2 days. (Just guessing of course!)

The system at 10.5/31 looks to be slowly becoming better organized. Latest satellite shows that convection is starting to pop over that area. With the highest wave legth at the lat posted above. I expect if this where to close off it will do so right there. The system bethind it is also becoming better organized with convection forming over the center.

This area has been slowly getting more organized since yesterday. A nice pop of convection throught this area and with favorable conditions around it we may see a depression form soon. If you look back on the page behind this one you will see the graphics and the reasons I have given for favorable conditions.

If the organization of the wave/low continues to improve,then invest 91L will be up tommorow.

Matt with the 10.5/31 system I think it will get some help from the wave behind it causing some very nice convection overnight and into tomorrow being that the low is stationary.

EDIT:

Also to note, this is a pretty large area of convection and mid level circulation in this area. It would probably wind up being a pretty decent sized storm.

and with Chris dying out, the attention will turn to this area tomorrow. This will be interesting to say the least!! I'm still not confident that this will recurve out to sea though.

In addition, the possible developing wave/low behind this one may be a good candidate for development.

See my thread on my thoughts

The system is hardly moving at all still centered at 10.5/31.5/32. The overall MLC/LLC has sharpen over the lst 12 hours. Instead of covering 8 to 10 degrees it covers about 5 degrees. Convection is starting to focuse over the center of the low pressure area. Which means that it could be starting to close off. Outflow looks very good and inflow looks good. To the north of the system looks to be SAL but this system looks to be doing good.

Quickscats show the western part of the system...Which shows there is a northly and westly wind(Also eastly)So this thing likely is developing a LLC. Once convection fires over the center expect some fairly quick development.
