Yes it is on its way to an invest for sure. I would give it 20% right now as well.
Looking at the 18Z GFS 500MB flow, subtropical ridging is strong albeit it has some times when it is broken. For example, check out the 500MB flow at 132 hours.
Notice the X in the Eastern Caribbean. That is where the GFS thinks this system will be but it is a shallow system. A deeper system would almost certainly get pulled more WNW or NW and not traverse the Caribbean:

In fact the ECMWF 12Z shows this nicely with even a weaker system, it has it headed towards a weakness at 144 hours which would move it through the Northern Leewards and near Puerto Rico, a deeper system maybe even a bit north of that:

Wow,I am a little surprised on how well the circulation looks like at this initial stage.

Probabilities for development increasing.

This is pretty much on its way to being 91L. There is a well defined LLC present and as some of you have pointed out already, there is quite a large moist envelope surrounding this system. I think this will be more than sufficient enough for this system to fight off any dry air intrusion as it traverses over the open Atlantic.
This indeed definitely has the potential to be the first significant tropical cyclone this season and a true Cape Verde storm at that in the coming days. Potentially some interesting days ahead monitoring this one for sure.

NEVER, EVER SAY NEVER in the tropics and weather in general, and most importantly, with life itself!!

Hi Brian,
Guess I missed you, but I was waching this yesterday had some nice blow up to it. Then today seemed to die down, but now kicking up again tonight. Very impressed with the counter clock wise flow so early on.

A quick snippet from the TWD at 8 p.m. from NHC
BROAD LOW-LEVEL CYCLONIC CIRCULATION IS NOTED IN THE
VICINITY OF THE WAVE AXIS FOCUSING ON A 1008 MB LOW CENTERED
NEAR 8N 38W. AN AREA OF INCREASED TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER IS
ALSO NOTED.
1008 mb Low analyzed at 8 degrees N, 38 degrees W.

What do you think of that ASCAT pass showing a well defined circulation on this stage?
