Well, for the last few hours we have been getting winds from somehat unusual directions: http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/TBPB.html

This wave may be worth watching.

That wave around 43W looks pretty interesting in visible imagery this morning. While the wave farther W to the NE of the Leeward islands is likely a fish even if something develops, this one could have more of a chance to make it into the Caribbean given its low latitude. It's still pretty early for development that far out in the Atlantic, but we are getting closer and closer to July ... the water is warmer that far south ... and the shear is low until you get to, say, 13N to 15N. So definitely worth watching.

Let's keep posting at this thread about the waves in the Atlantic Between Africa and the Lesser Antilles and not make individual threads about each wave. :)

This wave is looking really nice this morning. It has decent convection associated with it and maybe trying to develop a broad low to mid level circulation. Wind Shear isn't that bad in the vicinity and there's an upper high developing over it. I think it may have a shot down the road if it holds together.

The wave near 10n 43w is in that area where Ivan, Charlie and Dennis came from. If it can continue to gain latitude and get into the SE Carib. and continue with this increase in convection it could be a player.

Ok skysummit,now it's better. :) Yes,that wave although smaller than the other one in front,it seems to have a very weak turning in the low clouds to the south.

I like these smaller waves with convection...I look at them as less of an area to get torn apart, and it takes less energy to begin development. :cheesy:

The area east of the Leewards will get pulled northerly. The system that skysummit pointed out looks to be a player in the Caribbean in the next few days.

The wave isn't really so close to Cuba right now.

I think the system at 18 north/55/58 west moving northwestward has a fair chance at developing.
