Wave off Africa
The wave coming off Africa looks really good right now, of course it could fizzle in the next day but the environment off africa is becoming less hostile then it was before, not perfect but less hostile...i think this has a decent chance...elysium are you reading this, what do you think?
...sorry i couldnt help it

There's already a thread that Cycloneye made a few days ago regarding the Eastern Atlantic and the parade of waves over Africa:

I've been monitoring this system for potential development. It has not yet moved offshore, but will do so within the next 24 hours...

I don't think that it has a very good chance of making it across. It will also be pretty badly hampered by a little more of the now familiar SAL (Saharan dust) coming off. There's problems with the ridge that are of decreasing imposition but still there. The ridge hasn't set up well on the east side yet. Give it....10 days. You never know, though. If this system is resillient, you might have something there. It'll be tough going.
One thing greatly in its favor is its latitude. It's got excellent latitude. Sometimes, if it stays on a due west heading, that low latitude can get it out of problems. Well worth watching.

I get your point.....BUT please clean up your thoughts some and others on here won't be SO CRITICAL at your every word.
You know maybe some of you can cut this guy/ gal some slack. I don't think this was at all baseless. A little muddy at times but did have some fact to it.

Agreed. At least he/she did use some evidence to attempt to support his/her view...
