Folks I am very intrigued by this strong looking system so early in the season, what howver catches my eye is the lack of very hostile conditions out there which are predominantly whta we have in May and June. There is not much dry air presently out there to hamper cyclonic development at this time and the shear levels over the general area in retrospect to what is expected is below average. In conjunction to that as previously mentioned the sst's around that area is pretty warm.

How many first tropical wave threads are we gonna have?

Not a threat for significant development in this area but those waves look rather nice for being late may.

A LOW AMPLITUDE TROPICAL WAVE HAS BEEN INTRODUCED OFF THE W
AFRICAN COAST ALONG 16W FROM 3N TO 10N...MOVING WEST ABOUT 15
KNOTS. SCATTERED MODERATE TO STRONG CONVECTION COVERS THE AREA
WITHIN TWO DEGREES EITHER SIDE OF THE WAVE AXIS.

I thought the 1st tropical wave occured in April.

...TROPICAL WAVES...

TROPICAL WAVE...THE FIRST TRACKED ON OUR SFC MAP IN 2007...IS
LOCATED ALONG 21W/22W S OF 10N MOVING W ABOUT 15 KT. THIS WAVE
APPEARS TO HAVE MOVED OFF THE AFRICAN COAST AROUND 06Z ON SAT
BASED ON SATELLITE AND SFC DATA OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS. THE WAVE
PLACEMENT WAS BASED ON LOW TO MID LEVEL CURVATURE SEEN ON NIGHT
CHANNEL VIS IMAGES WHICH ALSO SEEMED TO MESH WELL WITH A SHIP
AND BUOY REPORT SURROUNDING THE FEATURE. THE BUOY...CALL SIGN
31006...HAS BEEN PARTICULARLY HELPFUL SHOWING THE WIND VEER MORE
TOWARD THE E POSSIBLY INDICATING THE APPROACH OF THE WAVE AXIS.
HOWEVER...EARLY MORNING'S VIS IMAGERY SUGGESTS THAT THE WAVE
AXIS COULD BE FURTHER W BASED ON THE SHAPE OF THE LOW-MID LEVEL
CLOUD FIELD...SO THE FORWARD SPEED OF THE WAVE MIGHT BE CLOSER
TO 20 KT. THIS WEAK FEATURE IS LOW-LATITUDE AND IT'S MAIN
FUNCTION IS PERTURBING THE ITCZ SLIGHTLY. SCATTERED MODERATE
CONVECTION IS WITHIN 180 NM E OF THE WAVE AXIS.

Skysummit, that was good I guess you archeived it.

I know no one cares right now, but the waves coming off Africa have been looking very healthy. Not only that, they aren't fading into oblivion once they hit the Atlantic....they are actually holding together. Sure, they are at very low latitudes, but on the WV it doesn't seem as dry out there as it typically is May-July.
