The Dakar station in Senegal's capital airport is reporting pressures of 1008 mbs as the axis of the wave moves thru.

Re: This is the one -Vigorous wave emerging Africa
In my opinion for the first time i think SAL will not be a problem as its moved to the north.I suspect we could see development from this wave in a few days.

Re: This is the one -Vigorous wave emerging Africa=Dakar,1008 mb
Again this wave of africa looks very impressive to me and my feeling is we are going to see our first major development in the easten atlantic in the coming days if conditions favor it.

THE ITCZ...
ITCZ AXIS IS CENTERED ALONG 11N15W 10N20W 13N28W 11N38W 10N50W
9N63W. THE E ATLC PORTION OF THE AXIS IS RATHER ACTIVE THIS
AFTERNOON WITH NUMEROUS MODERATE CONVECTION WITHIN 250NM S OF
THE AXIS E OF 29W. LOW LEVEL FLOW IS ALSO HIGHLY SW TO W IN THIS
VICINITY. METSAT-9 HOVMOLLER DIAGRAMS SUGGEST THE NEXT TROPICAL
WAVE IS NEAR THE COAST OF AFRICA. THE RAOB FROM BAMAKO MALI ALSO
SHOWED THE WAVE PASSAGE WELL YESTERDAY. SCATTERED MODERATE ALSO
NOTED WITHIN 120 NM EITHER SIDE OF THE AXIS BETWEEN 36W-41W.
2 PM Discussion from TPC.
The wave has not emerged completly Africa,that is why it has not been introduced.

yeah i posted earlier that there was strong evidence of a strong surface low
probably the strongest this year so far. must watch closely for either convection to fire or we have another large naked swirl..... i think this one will fire more convection it is much farther south than the last one

LOL....I don't think I've ever seen this before. "Poof" before it has even begun. This MUST be an S2K record.

Did you try waiting a bit? It starts out as a red X for me too, but it eventually loads.
Oh, never mind. Wrong site. I am getting the red X on this one too.

I sure hope this one is THE wave that finally developes.I'm getting very tired of every wave coming off of Africa being hyped to no end and less than 24 hours later it disappears

In any given hurricane season hundreds of tropical waves move of africa and only a select few go ahead a become full blown tropical cyclones.

This may become tropical depression 3 and
tropical storm chantal in 2-3 days, due to a
ton of moisture, less SAL, if shear lowers,
and water of adequate heat content.

Boy, it's almost like a monsoon trough is developing off the west coast of Africa. Convection spread over 20 deg longitude.

I gotta agree. Quite impressive. One still has to think right now, if you look at all of the data, that this is now developing a better than even chance to become a depression within a few days at most.
