Strong wave emerges africa

It is moving west with maybe a weak low pressure around 8n 20w but as we know it is too early to see something develop that far but hummmm TD#2 formed in the eastern atlantic so let's follow this one to see if it fades away or it mantains it's own.That cape verde observation shows nothing abnormal on the pressures but the wind direction is from the north showing that well south of them there is a low pressure.

It has a very tough road ahead of it. It's right on the edge of a large dry airmass, and just after Cape Verde is an area of strong shear....above 50 kts. Plus it's June...just not the time of the year for Cape Verde storms. I give it a 3-5% chance of development.

Guess there could be a small chance of developement, but if it were to happen it would be VERY SHORT LIVED

OH, OK... then forget that... but you never know... with this year and all the things that have happened with the weather I wouldn't be surprised if it DID develop... but I know it most likely won't.

It will be tough for it to develop but TD#2 formed almost there so you never know but if it stays below 10n a slim chance may be for it.

Yep...the air is even drier than I thought. As it gets further west conditions only get much worse with the shear. Easy come easy go.

Nice ball of convection near the coast again, but will die just as quickly as the last

But it shows that so early the CV area will be prime this season as the train of waves is active.
