Re: Central Atlantic Tropical Wave (along 40W)
The wave in between the two waves that had threads started looks best this morning.

A tropical wave located over the central Atlantic, with axis
near 40W from 05N-23N. It is moving west at 15 to 20 kt.
Scattered moderate convection is noted from 07N-10N between
35-45W near the monsoon trough.

Its convection certainly has been quite persistent for at least the last 24 hours.panamatropicwatch wrote:Kind of surprised the NHC didn't lemon this one too.

Re: Central Atlantic Tropical Wave (along 40W)
I noticed on the weather channel that there were 2 waves coming this way, this was one I think and one in front of it. Is there some
reason these haven't been designated as invests as yet? Thanks

Re: Central Atlantic Tropical Wave (along 40W)
Looks as though the GFS and Euro have something to some extent from this wave especially the northern part which seems to have some rotation
The 0zGFS at Day 9 seems to develop that area in the Bahamas
The 12zEuro has some vorticity in that vicinity too which is giving me some vibes of something like Bob in 1991, Carol in 1954 and Belle in 1976 but not expecting anything as strong as of now but that could change depending on Future model output

This is along 45W with most of the wave activity near -48.
Doesn't look much better than 99L did so it might just be showers coming into the Caribbean.

Re: Central Atlantic Tropical Wave (along 47W)
Looks like there's some decent rotation starting to show up on satellite.

Re: Tropical Wave east of the Lesser Antilles
not sure if this was the thread before..
but this area (near 56w) is back..
it has developed a circ lol .. it is tiny.. and the models have been showing this area increasing vorticity but never develop it.
but being so small I dont think the models would develop it.
lets see if convection maintains..

Re: Tropical Wave Near the Lesser Antilles (along 60W)
A lot of confusion here between the wave now near the eastern Caribbean and the waves to the east, including 91L (near 40W) and the mess extending from just offshore the COA to a little SW of the Cabo Verde Islands (20-30W). What the consensus of global model guidance is showing is that the 91L will get bypassed, once the mess to its east consolidates and begins to move more quickly westward, passing north of 91L. This may involve some binary interaction, and 91L still could even eventually get absorbed by (or combine with) the mess to its east.
A few of the posts in there will get moved to the appropriate thread.

Re: Tropical Wave Near the Lesser Antilles (along 60W)
Look at our little friend heading towards babados this morning..
if there was just a little less shear..
good circ and mini pouch..

Re: Tropical Wave Near the Lesser Antilles (along 60W)
I would watch this little fella for the next 24 hours.
the TUTT is forecast by all models to start racing west which will put this low into a much better environment starting later tonight.
the models dont develop it but have they really developed anything this year correctly ? lol
and models very likely are not developing it due to some SAL to the north... which is very narrow and likely wont be a problem.
