Will it be absorbed by the stronger wave behind it?

True, not much at the moment, but these types of sleeper waves can cause trouble. It has a spin, and is rather far south. I always pay closer attention to these low lattitude waves since they are closer to home. Shear in this region looks low for the next 48 hours per GFS (note: shear is low in the neighborhood of 10-15 N, approaching the SA coast.)

No Luis,

This is the wave that GFS is forming into a significant tropical cyclone.

Track the 950mb vorticity

I think the 12z models is looking like a Hugo 1989 track. Anyone agree. Besides the point where it moves W into FL.

I haven't much time, what are the chances for development, and what are the models saying?

There's a weak circulation near the center of this wave near 10 or 11N-39W. I've seen these strengthen and form and seen them wipe out too.

I think this wave is battling a bit with some Dry air and SAL. However the Dust doesn't seem to be as intense as it has been more recently. However there does appear to be a lot of moisture associate with this area.

There is plenty of UL Divergence and LL Convergence, so if it can continually blow up and get some support from the system to the East... We'll see.
