This is the one-Well Defined Wave in East Atlantic

[Cyclone1]

They hardly ever mention waves that have yet to come off the coast.

I've been reading a lot of the discussions about this tropical wave and that a lot of the models pick up on developing something, maybe this wave. My personal guess right now is that this wave DOES develop into a tropical depression in about 2-3 days. Depending on what conditions are like then, I could very well see Chantal out of this tropical wave, but I will go no further than that at this time in terms of intensity. And for the track, I'm going to simply say it heads west to west-northwest during that time frame. No frills, just a very straight-forward opinion on this one right now.

It looks almost similar to what it was 93L in early June.

Here's my prediction.

This wave will emerge and become an invest tomorrow night. It will proceed to depression strength by the 5-11am advisory on sunday and will be named Chantal Monday morning. Strength will grow to atleat 65-75 mph, and will eventually effect Puerto Rico, going just to the north. From there on out, my psychic abilities kinda fade out. Trust me on this. I am right about 6% of the time.

This might be the door opener for the "real" part of the season. Or..it might be yet another bust. We'll see.

As long as it doesn't affect Florida or the Carolinas, we're safe.We don't need this one to become a major cane

You can see how large the envelope of this wave actually is here on EUMETSAT.

The familiar pic of that area.As windstorm99 said,it has a large envelope.

[wxmann_91]

Having said all of that, I only give it a 30% chance right now

Now that I would overall agree with you. It has a much better look right now, although it seems there's more of the SAL coming off northern Africa (or are my eyes deceiving me?).

Observations inside Senegal show pressures down to 1008 mbs.

Nothin' like the CIMSS to check it out:



I would say that's considerably less than for the last wave. And actually it's pretty clear within the "envelope" of the wave.

['CaneFreak]

Very interesting!!!

[Hurricaneman]

seems as though the beginnings of what looks to be a low pressure

[brunota2003]

Just a tropical wave and pressures are already 1008 millibars? Hmmm...Ought to be an interesting area to watch over the next week, if it doesnt go "POOF!". Hopefully this will relieve me of my boredom and not hit anyone.

If this keeps up,we've got us a TD sooner than we think
