The system is not doing much tonight. Any low-mid level rotation is WELL northeast of the convective activity...likely over the Cape Verde islands. Low-level cloud lines are from the west all across those thunderstorms.
Don't expect development in the near-term with this setup. Have to see convection persist for at least 24 hours (for low pressure development in it) to even be considered for an invest classification...

good catch....just saw the same on latest Met-8.

Here are my thoughts on this system...
Even though the main mid-level rotation area is displaced from the main convection and is closer to the Cape Verde Islands, as the system moves further west, the possible low area may reform closer to the convection, or the convection may consolidate closer to the area of the main mid-level rotation as the wave axis slows and shear gradually lessens as the gap between TD 6 and this wave widens, lending support into this system possibly forming into 91L soon, especially beyond 24 hours. Convection, although displaced, has persisted well since the axis of this wave exited the African coastline. With all the synoptics in, this mat well develop soon a bit down the road.

AN ATLANTIC OCEAN TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 26W/27W SOUTH OF 20N
MOVING WEST 10 KT. A 1008 MB LOW PRESSURE CENTER IS ALONG THE
WAVE NEAR 16N. NUMEROUS STRONG SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
FROM 11N TO 14N BETWEEN 29W AND 32W. STRONG SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALONG THE EDGE OF THE NORTHERN CAPE VERDE
ISLANDS FROM 17N TO 18N BETWEEN 24W AND 26W. A FEW CELLS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE CAPE VERDE
ISLANDS FROM 17N TO 18N BETWEEN 21W AND 23W.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Convection is persisting now for many hours and IMO it may be classified as an invest later today.

The NAMMA project forecast from today:
"NAMMA forecast Sept 4
The wave sampled by the DC-8 yesterday (Sept 03) has continued to propagate westward while maintaining a cyclonic circulation signature below 500mb. A decision has been made to fly the system again today. A QuickScat overpass at 2018UTC Sept 3 places the surface circulation center near 15N 26W. The position is consistent with NHC Tropical Discussion issued 0600 UTC Sept 4 placing a 1008mb low near 26W/27W and 16N. The circulation center is located 100-200km to the northeast of convective burst within the ITCZ. It continues to move west at 10-15 knots. The 00UTC Sept 4 numerical guidance suite (NCEP GFS, MAP06 GEOS-5, Howard Univ and UIUC WRF systems) is in strong agreement on both the track of the system and low-level structure over the next 48h. Ensemble positions are as follows: 12UTC/4: 16N-27; 00UTC/5: 16N-29W; 12UTC/5: 16N-32W; 00UTC/6: 16N-35W."

What I don't like about this is it's southern location. Now, if TD6 forms into Florence....the next wave that could be 91L would be "G", and this beast coming off of Africa could be my dreaded "Helene". There's just something about that name....I said it since before the season started. I dread Helene.

System is clearly organizing right now. Convection is forming all throughout the low-mid level circulation that was devoid of shower activity yesterday. Yesterday's persistent blob has weakened leading the way for more inflow to follow the broad center.
The "popcorn" type of development of the weather over the center leads me to believe this is almost a go.
Expect an invest soon...

Since no one has posted a sat pic in a while, here we go. I know I sometimes get lazy and will check a thread for a current sat pic of a system instead of going to another site for them, so I try to return the unknowing favor when I can.
Hard to believe there's a TD in the middle of that picture, eh?

The NOGAPS is quite vicious on this system!
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cgi-bin/nogapstc ... =Animation
The UKMET forms the system,but not very deep.
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cgi-bin/ukmtc2.c ... =Animation
MM5 also closes off the low and brings it behind what it seems to think will be a powerfull florance
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cgi-bin/mm5fsutc ... =Animation
GFS also puts it as a closed low (as well as another system developing near the end of the run)
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cgi-bin/gfstc2.c ... =Animation
CMC has it on and off
