WELL-DEFINED TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 35W/36W S OF 15N MOVING W
15-20 KT. CONVECTION CONTINUES IN ASSOCIATION WITH THIS WAVE AND
IS SPREADING S OF THE ITCZ. WEAK TURNING IS ALSO NOTED ALONG THE
WAVE AXIS NEAR 8N36W. CLUSTERS OF MODERATE CONVECTION ARE FROM
8N-10N BETWEEN 35W-38W. SIMILAR CONVECTION IS FOUND AHEAD OF THE
WAVE AXIS AND WITHIN 60/90 NM ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ITCZ FROM
38W-42W. THE GFS MODEL FORECAST THE WAVE TO AFFECT THE LESSER
ANTILLES LATE WEDNESDAY.
The above from the 8 PM discussion about this wave.

Well, this wave is the best looking one at this point and I don't see anything other than the dry air to impede it from slowly organizing. It has been fighting the dry air to its north all along so I don't see that as much of a factor to this point.
Another thing, it should be reaching the Carib at about the same time as the MJO is expected into the Atlantic basin from the last time I looked into it.

It will be moving into higher sea surface temps in the next few days and there is some tropical cyclone potential indicated by CIRA.

And further north in latitud it will have to deal with dry air.

It appears to have a large area of moist air...In appears to have a MLC at 9.0/39.5 just southeast of the blow up of convection. Nice inflow pattern with it. The dry air appears to be far enough away from it for some slow development. Overall shear doe's not look to be a big problem...This kind of reminds me of Iris last year starting out. If it can keep the moisture around it as it tightes(Devleops a cirulaiton)instead of drawing it in like Iris. We may have something very interesting to watch.
Looking at the new frames it appears to be flaring up some nice convection near the center. I think this is looking very good.

The 18z gfs shows it closing off but then opens it up again. It shows a northwest track fellowed by a west-northwest track.
