Central Atlantic Tropical Wave

Here is another blob that we could be talking about. It looks a little more healthy than 97L. There is a wave trailing right behind it, if not already very close to the convection. We'll find out what the 205 Says.

There is good upper Level Divergence

Windshear remains light in front of this area.

I agree if we can get a little lattitude here...this may go..had the Signature of a nice wave..

Its heading right into S America or drifting that way.

I knew somebody would mention this. Way too far south.

AN ATLANTIC OCEAN TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 46W/47W SOUTH OF 14N
MOVING WEST 10-15 KT. THIS IS A LOW AMPLITUDE WAVE WITH
CONVECTION W OF THE AXIS. SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION IS FROM
9N-12N BETWEEN 47W-51W.

Given the recent trends this would not be difficult to gian lattitude.

This is a wave that I'd pay attention to. It's far enough south to not get steered north into the open Atlantic. Such a wave moving across the southern Caribbean to the area north of Panama and east of Nicaragua could develop south of the ridge in 5-7 days. Prime spot for late season development.

I stand corrected! It's amazing how far south these waves have to be this year to avoid all of the weakness that dominates the northern atlantic.

Looks more impressive then 97L.

Mike Watkins covered this on a recent show, or perhaps a post here. It's not going to whack into South America. It looks that way, but these end up gaining latitude just fine.

its firing up gain and has indeed gained some lattitude and is forecasted to traverse the Caribbean:

Note its position between Puerto Rico and SA in 72 hours:

bump, should we not change the title?

Way too much shear for it to develop at this time, IMO
