In fairness to the OP, it would help if the original thread were better titled; the thread with this title is a lot less vague than "We are definitely seeing the next area to invest out of afri".

I'll be impressed if it's still here in 24 hours. You know how these waves are.

The curve of the low is fairly obvious but obviously the convection is all to the south of the low thanks to the SAL. Still we are getting closer to the time when these really need to be watched.

Actually looking at the SAL image there is a little pocket of moisture for this system to work within. I personally still think its early but the models are hinting at a strong wave for 7-10 days time.

Nice curving to the shallow clouds just to the north of the convection. The waves seem to be more and more advanced in the last 2 weeks in terms of development, just need the SAL to ease a little to get things going in the CV region.

OURAGAN, I took out from the title the 1009 mb low as there was no mention at the 2 PM discussion.

Seems that it has poof a bit :cheesy: the SAL is surely for something, but let's wait and see as we're approaching the end of the month of July and the beginning of of August...
