I think wxman57 is saying that NOW, it is probably an open wave and that it may be downgraded soon.
No denying that at 5 PM they still had it as a TD but the post was a couple of hours later.

It appears to me at this current time, that I would agree somewhat with wxman57. It is showing the classic signs of being a wave but, Lets see what the NHC says at 11PM.
TROPICAL WEATHER DISCUSSION
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
805 PM EDT MON SEP 04 2006
TROPICAL WEATHER DISCUSSION FOR NORTH AMERICA...CENTRAL
AMERICA...THE GULF OF MEXICO...THE CARIBBEAN SEA...NORTHEASTERN
SECTIONS OF SOUTH AMERICA...AND THE ATLANTIC OCEAN TO THE
AFRICAN COAST FROM THE EQUATOR TO 32N. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
IS BASED ON SATELLITE IMAGERY...WEATHER OBSERVATIONS...RADAR...
AND METEOROLOGICAL ANALYSIS.
BASED ON 1800 UTC SURFACE ANALYSIS AND SATELLITE IMAGERY THROUGH
2315 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURE...
THE CENTER OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION SIX AT 04/2100 UTC IS CENTERED
NEAR 16.9N 43.8W IN THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC. IT IS MOVING
NORTHWEST AT 10 KT. THE ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS
1005 MB. THE MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WIND SPEED IS 30 KT WITH GUSTS TO
40 KT. PLEASE READ THE LATEST NHC FORECAST/ADVISORY UNDER
AWIPS/WMO HEADERS MIATCMAT1/WTNT21 KNHC AND THE PUBLIC ADVISORY
UNDER MIATCPAT1/WTNT31 KNHC FOR MORE DETAILS. SATELLITE PICTURES
SHOW THAT THE DEPRESSION HAS NOT STRENGTHENED AND CURRENTLY IT
LOOKS LESS ORGANIZED THAN 6 HOURS AGO. SOUTHWESTERLY SHEAR SEEMS
TO BE INHIBITING STRENGTHENING AT THIS TIME...BUT THE SHEAR IS
FORECAST TO RELAX AS A LARGE MID-UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE
CENTRAL ATLANTIC DEPARTS DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS WILL
ALLOW THE DEPRESSION TO STRENGTHEN AND THE SYSTEM COULD BECOME A
TROPICAL STORM WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR SO. THE CENTER IS
BETWEEN TWO BANDING FEATURES OF MODERATE TO STRONG CONVECTION.
THE MOST ACTIVE BAND IS FROM 13N-18N BETWEEN 44W-48W. BASED ON
THE OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK...THIS TROPICAL CYCLONE WILL REMAIN
OVER THE OPEN OCEAN WATERS TROUGH SATURDAY.

Seems as if there is a center SW of the latest convective burst... probably enough to keep this alive until visible imagery is available. This is based upon the latest SSM/i S pass from NRL
I would post the link, but since html is not enabled, I do not know how to shorten the link

If the shear does not stop soon and the trough to the north does not fizzle out as well I am starting to think the area in the Bahamas could end up being more interesting than TD 6. On the water vapor image you can clearly see the trough is not weakening by no means. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/catl/wv-l.jpg This goes to show you models are useless and i do not care to look at them. They cannot predict what the atmosphere will do because it has a mind of its own and will do what it wants to do.

Ok the LLC still looks to be there. A buoy on the southern side is now showing west wind around 12-13 north. With clouds flowing at the lower levels around that. The convection is firing over the northeast side. But convection is starting to fire down closer to the LLC. Shear maps shown that the shear could be weaking some. So we will have to see. But I see a chance of this getting a little better orgnized after 12 hours, if things hold up!

Here's the latest QS pass. Casts doubt on whether the system could have actually opened up into a wave in 3 short hours.
