But will something will come out of that convergence zone is the question however this activation of the ITCZ shows that the air is more moist at portions of the atlantic so maybe that sal factor is starting to fade a little bit but still there is dust around although less than in past weeks.

I noticed that also the moisture is now beginning to return looking at latest satellite imagery as well this morning. In the immediate short-term, I don't see anything that will spin up ...

The area around 50W continues to flare-up but also at the same time looks to head into South America. Another flare-up just exited off the NW South America coast in the Western Caribbean sea as well.
