Depends on which model you look at. The GFS closes it of around 40w but never amounts it to much more than that. The CMC develops into a TC and turns it NW. Don't know what the Euro, NOGAPS or others are doing with it.

Hey Derek, do waves sometimes develop even though the models don't predict it will? I'm asking this because I've never studied the accuracy of the models regarding future storms. While I think it's obvious that sometimes the models often call for a wave to develop and it doesn't, does it work the other way around as well??
Anyone else can answer this too if you'd like :)...

Even though the convection is blowing up, I'm not going to get caught in that trap again, lol...Everytime I see convection firing and open my big fat mouth, it poofs.......My lips are sealed....

The ECMWF 12Z model has a low near 15N 38W on Sunday, going up to 25N 45W on Thursday. The GFS 12 Z model also shows a nice developing low near the same area, later on turning NW and riding a clockwise path, ending near Ireland as a very strong extratropical (950 hPa on September 15).

I'm still a bit confused, are you guys looking at the area with the spin that's just east of the top of the slands?, or is it the wave with the ball of convection that's more east of the bottom of the islands?

Still don't have my latitude and longitude down, sorry

Hmm, that's interesting that the latest TWO didn't say, "development IF ANY should be slow to occur"...I guess they are feeling more bullish on this, but we'll see

This is definitely not the wave the models are jumping on. It is the wave behind it.

Please note this wave will be nearing the islands in 72 hours.

They are picking up on the wave nearest to africa.

Sorry if this has already been asked I am a novice.

Somehow I think the 2 waves are combining..
Will one beat the other? Or is it back to basics for me?

18Z GFS is picking up on this wave and developing some stuff behind it.

It could get very active here in the next few weeks.

EDIT to say it is picking up on this wave.

It appears the models are devloping one or in gfs case two waves and turing them north into fish.

very possible. If by chance the wave at 35W develops though, it won't be a fish. It's going to keep on plowing westward. Maybe when it gets into the Carib we will have something.
