Re: Tropical wave near Africa
It does have a nice spin to it this afternoon. I don't see any model support but I'll be keeping an eye on it.

it looks like the GFS likes this for the next few days as a weak 1010mb low and then dissipates it later as I believe dry air and SAL get involved, but the fact that it shows up as a sharp wave as it transverses towards the lesser Antilles is something to keep an eye on in future model runs.
The one thing that could cause this to develop kind of like 93L ahead of it is it stays in the ITCZ and thats not modeled to happen so it as mentioned in the OP is this may slip under the radar and be a surprise

15 KT. A 1012 MB LOW IS CENTERED AT THE SOUTHERN END OF THE WAVE
WHICH REMAINS EMBEDDED WITHIN THE MONSOON TROUGH. CONVECTION
REMAINS LIMITED DUE TO THE SAHARAN AIR LAYER COVERING MUCH OF
THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC...HOWEVER ISOLATED MODERATE CONVECTION IS
LOCATED AHEAD OF THE WAVE AXIS TO 30W FROM 09N-12N.

Given how things are looking it's a bit surprising it's not on the hurricane center's map yet, at least mentioned at all.

Re: Tropical wave In East Atlantic

Huge mass of SAL/dry air to its north. None of the globals do anything at all with it. Doesn't look like much - doubt it will develop

It would need to have favorable conditions and that's just not the case right now. Some vorticity is there, but on the weak side and elongated.

And yes Sal is there too, but maybe less of it than what Bertha had? But with that tongue of SAL in front of it and just overall a stable atmosphere, the most I see it doing is just cycling of up and down convection.

Re: Tropical wave In East Atlantic
I think this might have a chance if it doesn't run into SA but it would have to stay south until the central Caribbean to do anything IMO

Might be a late bloomer. Hard to tell. Could be too close to Bertha.
There's another weak wave that just jumped off Africa.

It probably won't do much, but IMO there's a chance we could see something in the long run out of this wave. Hopefully it develops sometime in the future!

Hurricanes are an amazing natural phenomena. While many are spiraling pits of evil that kill people or cause devastation, some are tame and stay clear of land.
I wish for you to

This is starting to catch my attention, while its not modeled to develop the area which is near the windward islands has moist air to work with and low shear in the Caribbean so this area may need to be monitored for convective persistence
