Invest 97L E Windwards,Comments,Sat Pics,Models Thread
Looks pretty good this morning. It's large with lots of convection and there seems to be a mid to low-level spin near 8.5N and 37W moving west. This will probably be an invest soon.

The CMC also develops this wave and brings it into S FL/Bahamas in 6 days. This one looks to be the next investigation.

Looks to be too fast in movement. The NOGAPS develops it as well but it much slower and dissapates it by 144hrs

i would like to play poker with you since you fold so easily...

Also, how do you guys read those models? I don't see anything on them...just colors.
Check last sat pics on other thread, this looks good. I do not see that it has lost anything at all, just consolidating from its original elongated structure.

What you are seeing is some dry air in the apparent low vicinity, once this works out probably around 50 or 55W than we will see development. The northern extension seems to be racing toward the west while the lower is moving at a slower pace. This may help down the road to mix out the dry air.

I agree with you 100%. I'm giving the central wave and the eastern wave(the one just coming off the coast) to develop(one or the other), before I call it a bust.... Yea, I know, some will reply "wait until September", then it will be "wait until October"... lol
I'm not worried about that coming to fruition though. I'm pretty positive the wave that came off the coast of Africa will develop. If it doesn't, then this season has a mind of it's own regardless of climatology....

This wave that we have been following since it came off Africa several days ago has not becomed very organized yet. It looks like its close encounter with the ITCZ and what appears as some SAL intrusion has delayed development. This ITCZ merger typically causes systems to develop more slowly as there is a fight for moisture. I think of it as having a western Pacific tropical cyclone developing from a monsoon trough.
During the past 24 hours, however, the wave itself has developed an established upper-level outflow pattern. I had mentioned that development of this system could happen as early as Tuesday, but it seems to be developing slower than thought. Remember, the longer it takes to develop the higher the chances of it getting closer to the Americas.
I'll still be watching it because its persistance over the Atlantic suggests this system is capable of bursting as soon as it consolidates...

Thanks Hyperstorm for the insight, could be one of those "stealth" waves that wait until getting closer to the US to take off.

I no longer think this will be an invest today. It doesn't look good as it did earlier this morning. It appears to entrenched too much in the SAL to develop now. It's also heading towards an area of higher shear east of the islands:

May need to be watch when it gets into the Carribean though.

This fast motion would seem to indicate an strong area of high pressure to the North. I am wondering if the models picking up on a weakness is a little under done. This is going to be important to the evolution of 96L.

I wonder too, if the invest behind develops and moves more NW, will this help the environment around this feature and impede the effect of the SAL. I think it is worth watching, especially with the MJO pulse entering the Atlantic Basin.
