Re: Strong Wave in Eastern Atlantic
Not that it's a huge inhibiting factor, but there is a large area of SAL/Dry air to the north of the system. We're getting closer to that time of the year.

Re: Strong Wave in Eastern Atlantic
This disturbance is doing the opposite of developing. It's losing convection and organization as it tracks west.Time to look elsewhere for Ana. Maybe next week.

I think the time has arrived for this thread to die down the pages.

The Atlantic is quiet. An area of low pressure in the Central Atlantic that was being monitored for development lost much of its thunderstorm activity during the early morning hours of Wednesday. http://www.weather.com/newscenter/hurricanecentral/update/index.html?from=hp_news

There were enough surface obs around the system to conclude that it wasn't a surface low center, and it wasn't a tropical wave axis. It appeared to be a mid-level feature located between two tropical waves, actually in the ridge axis. Such features generally move W-WSW and die.
Oh, and one more thing:

Re: Disturbance fizzeled in Eastern Atlantic
Yep, the Perfect Season was in danger of being lost, but the opposing team fumbled at the 10 yard line (dry air and shear, which is very strong at this time across the Caribbean)...
We'll see what happens this month...

Re: Disturbance fizzeled in Eastern Atlantic
Ok, that one went poof, but what about the area behind it? 
MIMIC-TWP

http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/tatl/flash-avn.html
Some convection firing near the swirl that appears to be moving further away from the ITCZ.
The negatives?
Shear is very high just north of the current location:

Re: Disturbance fizzeled in Eastern Atlantic
Even the surface spiral evaporated. No re-burst from this.
My guess is the easterly shear and synoptic shear pushed the upper well west of the wave axis. It had a nice little pocket of favorability just off Africa but was then dessicated to death by the dry hand of subsidence and SAL which is obviously still well in place in the mid-Atlantic.
The August 16th formation date of Andrew is still open to possibility, but even that looks threatened due to the negative conditions that are obviously still out there in the Cape Verde belt.

Possible a circulation is starting to regenerate near 11.5N/36W?

This could be a threat to Hawai'i in less than 3 weeks.
