Re: Tropical Wave in East Atlantic
The CMC continues to develop this wave and tracks it in this 00z run to the Georgia/South Carolina border.

Re: Tropical Wave in East Atlantic
Discussion of wave from the San Juan NWS.
On Tuesday
night, showers will not taper off as much over eastern Puerto
Rico as the moisture associated with the wave moves into the area.
The GFS has been inconsistent with whether better activity should
be expected Wednesday or Thursday. Certainty in rain chances,
though, is higher on Wednesday and some thunderstorms will be seen
island wide and possibly around the U.S. Virgin Islands then as
well, but moisture levels are still excellent on Thursday and
there is considerable instability in both Wednesday and Thursday`s
18Z forecast soundings showing minus 8 lifted indices. Neither day
appears to have upper level dynamic support like Tuesday to add
complications to the forecast. At this time am leaning toward the
best activity being on Wednesday by a narrow margin.

In natural color. I'd have to say Levi and tidbits has done a great job with the imagery.

Re: Tropical Wave in East Atlantic
FV3 GFS going with development again as it approaches Florida and has it crossing the peninsula into the Gulf where it develops further. The model is interestingly very close to the CMC as far as track as that timeframe:

FWIW, The German Icon model shows it developing east of the Bahamas on Wednesday.

Re: Tropical Wave in East Atlantic
I'm curious why some models show the Bermuda High weakening, allowing for an Eastern solutions, while some keep it stout and push it toward the Central U.S.

Re: Tropical Wave in East Atlantic
2 PM TWD: I think this added wave is the one some models are latching on.
An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 34W/35W from 19N
southward. This wave was added to the 25/1200 UTC map analysis
based on long loop satellite imagery and computer model
diagnostics. Broken to overcast multilayered clouds and possible
rainshowers cover the area that is from 14N to 24N between 30W and
40W.

And yet, SAL is back-filling right after it passes through, though you can definitely see less SAL than we have even a few weeks ago at its peak. And much less in front of it, though the shear in front of it is also high.

Re: Tropical Wave in East Atlantic (34W-35W)
Is there a term for waves that cross the Atlantic and don't form until the Bahamas or so? Short notice systems always bugged me.

Re: Tropical Wave in East Atlantic
The GFS is an outlier at the moment as far as it showing basically nothing in the GOM with this wave. The FV3 GFS, CMC, and ECMWF show some kind of organization (albeit weak on the ECMWF). But the GFS does show an environment conducive for development if this wave makes the journey there in tact. It wouldn’t surprise me if the GFS jumps on the development bandwagon soon:
