I'm guessing the models are latching into something developing further north and then take it WNW and recurve...it wil lbe interesting to see how well that side of things verify.

Consensus looks decent enough to me though IMO could be a little to the west.

This wave just emerging Africa may be the one the models are latching to.

Yes. What amazes me about this year is that all the systems have originated in the tropics. Nothing of subtropical or extratropical origins. That's weird.

It's strange, but from that loop, it looks like the convection is racing off to the north-north-west as soon as it exits Africa....

Its a rather messy pattern but I don't think the GFS is picking up on the convection that has just left Africa, not unless that convection really races westwards, but it may well interact with whatever is trying to get going out there in the ITCZ I'd guess much the same way we had 90L/Colin interact.

Looks like its trying to concentrate in the middle of all the convection, I'm going to say until we see an area of convection that tries to split off to the north away from the convection, we probably will keep this messy set-up with multiple regions of Vorts trying to get going.

We may very well see two separate storms, one from the disturbance at 40 west or there abouts, and the other with the one exiting Africa. One will recurve the 40 west one and the other may come in underneath as the high builds in after the precessor exits.
