Yeah this one could well be a TD before 25W if it keeps this presentation up, very impressive, most of the convection is on the southern side.

The remains of Danny relaly should create enough of a weakness to lift this up quite a bit, the only way this stays south is if it dies pretty much and stays as a weak wave.

Thanks. It looks great. I think it's well on its way to depression status. Give it a few more days and we could have Erika before August is out.

Dang, this wave is popping fast. Let us hope that the HP ridge does not build.

This one has CV hurricane written all over it. It's all a matter of where it goes.

I often get fooled by this impressive waves just off the west coast of Africa ... however, this one seems to have held together, and its size is already impressive. We'll see. I have no idea where the position of the Bermuda High will be in several days. The trend has been re-curvature, but it's too early to know.

12 z Euro sort of develops this wave, the most important thing about this run is it builds the ridge in tandem with the progress of this system..

Yeah it is looking pretty impressive I have to admit, long way to track this one it seems.

As for the ECM, whilst the ridge is strengthening by that point it seems to be somewhat too far north to be a real threat to the US, its even further north then Bill was at that point.

I agree KWT. That's what I"m seeing. Unless that high is extremely strong I don't see how a CV tracker at that lattitude can be forced so far west without going fishing. It would certainly be an anomaly if it did threaten the CONUS after getting so far north.

This image loop is small in size but you can see how this wave is organizing.

The thing to look at is the ridge building in. Many storms have developed at this lattitude and made it all the way across.

Convection seems to be developing very well right now, looks like a probable developer IMO.

Will still be interesting to see where this ends up but I think a recurve is odds on...still the Bermuda high does strengthen around 6-7 days time, maybe just too late to steer this one westward enough but it may be close.

Who said the cape verde season is weak, this may be our 3rd storm from this region and we are not even half way through Cape Verde season.
