AVN, UKMET, NOGAPS, CMC, and AF-MM5 are on board with this wave although initialized in different positions. Best agreement yet on an emerging CV wave.

Convection looks a little wimpy right now, but does have a closed low. It is something to watch over the coming days.

Ticka, since the AVN goes out in time the longest, I attached this link for the track. Check the little box in the right upper corner. The big A is the begining of the track and the Big Z is the end.

It looks like Cape Verde recorded a 1011mil pressure as the closed low passed by to the south.

50/50 Fabian GalvestonDuck because it has a long travel to do thru the atlantic as it may encounter some dry pockets in atlantic but it looks like a healthy system right now that may go up in classification in the comming days.
