LOCATED ABOUT 750 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. THIS
DISTURBANCE IS SHOWING SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION...AND ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS ARE CONDUCIVE FOR SOME GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS SYSTEM HAS A LOW CHANCE...20 PERCENT...OF

After the Dodgers sweep my Giants, finally a good news.

A floater is aboard.

[GCANE]

Pretty impressive that GFS is developing this as a deep warm-core

[Nimbus]

The environment is more moist down at the low latitudes near the ITCZ so this will be an interesting area to watch. Didn't look like a fish even a couple days ago so I guess the best scenario is the weak and west track of the BAMShallow. That would expose it to higher shear off SA. Wonder what kind of 57 sauce we are going to get on this one?

[NDG]

I give it a good 36-48 hrs if not closer to 60 hrs before we see it become a TD.
If it tracks across the lower half of the Caribbean chances of it surviving the graveyard are not good, the central Caribbean has had consistently bad UL environment during the past few weeks, and they usually do not change that quick.
But before that, this looks to give the Islands a good threat for at least a Tropical Storm to affect them by sometime this weekend.

Now with the new thing about the pouches.

I'll update it when I get back home. Problem is all those waves in the EPac that keep popping up even though NHC keeps tracking the Atlantic ones into the Yucatan/Bahamas/Florida.

75kts before the 60W? on this run! Looks like islands between Martinica and Barbuda are on the possible path of 99L even if we're far away from the reality and that's the good news .

Definitely has a chance of development given the model support though it will be a gradual process as the system is quite disorganized. Moisture envelope looks good. The only thing I am wondering about is how that ULL off to the NNW of the system is going to impact 99L (if at all)? The ULL is dropping SW. I wonder if that is why some of the models like the GFDL and HWRF show some development over the next 3-4 days but then weaken the system as it approaches the Leewards? It looks like either that or there may be some moderate shear it will encounter once it gets closer to the islands and I still think it is going to encounter some lingering SAL and dry air on its journey west, so conditions shouldn't be ideal for this system anytime soon. Either way looks like the Cape Verde season has commenced folks.

[Blown Away]

[gatorcane]

The 00Z Experimental FIM global model develops this system all the way until the Eastern Caribbean and has it going into the general direction of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola where it weakens:

[CrazyC83]

Yeah I think the islands need to pay close attention to this one. I don't see how it turns northward though given the huge ridge in place...this seems like a classic straight shooter setup...

[Yellow Evan]

I'll update it when I get back home. Problem is all those waves in the EPac that keep popping up even though NHC keeps tracking the Atlantic ones into the Yucatan/Bahamas/Florida.

How is that a problem?
