\We now have invest 97L out by Africa!

1. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE
LOCATED NEAR THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. SOME DEVELOPMENT OF THIS WAVE
IS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES TO THE WEST OR
WEST-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 15 MPH. THIS SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM
CHANCE...30 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.

Well if we get a named storm out of this area before the end of the month we will be tied with 2005! If any one had told me at the start of the season that by the end of August we would be in the position to tie 2005 I wouldn't have believed it! I wonder where we would be right now if El Nino wasn't a player this season!

[Cryomaniac]

Definitely a busy season so far.

[rainstorm]

lets see if this can come west.

[meriland23]

is it even possible for this to go the western route? Given all the systems ahead of it?

It is now at 30 percent (code orange).

Remains at 30%.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE CHANGED LITTLE IN ORGANIZATION NEAR A
BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED ABOUT 150 MILES SOUTH OF THE
CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE MARGINALLY CONDUCIVE FOR

A 1008 MB LOW IS S OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS NEAR 13N23W. A
TROPICAL WAVE EXTENDS FROM 21N19W TO 17N22W TO THE LOW CENTER.
THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WSW AT 13 KT. WIDELY SCATTERED MODERATE
CONVECTION IS N OF THE LOW FROM 12N-18N BETWEEN 22W-28W...AND S OF THE LOW FROM 7N-12N BETWEEN 22W-31W. SOME DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

Pressure down one mb. The last BT updates had the center at 12.9N and then 12.8N, now it's at 12.7N.
There might be a hint of a S of due W movement, but I think at that stage of development it's not even really possible to track the exact location of the LLC with an accuracy of <0.1 degrees.

[Gustywind]

That's curious that anybody put a sat pic on 97L? Even, most of us are focus on Isaac, we should not forget that an Invest treeks west even wsw in the Atlantic. Let's keep an eye on it.

You're right, but the more it delays the development phase, the more west it goes and the first on the line of fire are the Lesser Antilles islands.

In mid-July, this would be at page 25 by now, now Isaac gets all the glory.
