I was looking a the satellites and there is a lot of moisture out there. Not a lot of dry air out there. You think this pattern will hold?

I dont know if you had a chance to look at the Tropical Atlantic between Africa and the Lesser Antilles but that is a very big outbreak of african dust moving westward which means not favorable for any development to take place in that area in the near term.
