I believe 2 and 3 are the ones with model support, not 100% sure though.

That is the greatest graphic I think I ever saw...LOL! If I am reading the model concensus correctly, 2 will possibly end up in the BOC with a possilbe northward trend and 3 could be a better player for development. So for now, I pick 2 and 3, but this is just my uneducated guess. Someone correct me if I am wrong. All these waves are so confusing. Image
Could wave #1 be the sacrificial wave regarding SAL?

0Z GFS initializes this as a closed low...

Not so sure about that.

I think # 1 has a "nice" S shape to it. Over the next couple of days, it will be in a very favorable environment in terms of upper winds and shear. Plus...the favorable MJO pulse is on the way back.

Honestly I expected this lull to last another 4 or 5 days...but looks like it will last only 2 days or so.

Behind that, # 2 sure has a shot too.

Looks like I'm not getting any time off next week...

Really? Hmmm...time to start taking odds on how long it will be before we have 2 invests up in the Atlantic. I'm betting we'll have 2 by the end of the weekend...

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
200 AM EDT SUN AUG 10 2008

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

A LARGE TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC ABOUT 1300
MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS IS PRODUCING LIMITED AND
DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER...UPPER-LEVEL
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
SYSTEM DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT CONTINUES WESTWARD AT
ABOUT 15 TO 20 MPH.


A SECOND AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER IS LOCATED OVER THE FAR EASTERN
ATLANTIC ABOUT 500 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. SLOW
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT
ABOUT 15 MPH.

ELSEWHERE.. TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.

This system has shown a bit more improvement than the larger system behind it....

Morning folks. Both systems look good, but the first in particular seems to be developing a Low-level Circulation more so than its larger counterpart behind it. One can note the overall low level cloud motions around the convection starting to twist inwards into the convection. I would say this one has the most potential to develop more quickly out of the two. Assuming it develops, steering looks like this for lower-level systems:

http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real- ... 8dlm1.html

Given that setup along with the latitude of the wave not being terrible high (Somewhere near 11-12N), steering would seemingly take it near the leewards in some form or fashion. From there on out its anybody's guess.
