Nhc did mention this at 8pm TWO. We will see this one could sneak up on us.
For now give me 94L!

the trends today with this system from very early morning were quite clear.
Isn't this the TRUTH. The calendar demands that waves in this kind of position get the utmost respect in AUGUST. No matter what the very fallible models say.

Looks pretty shielded from the dry air to the north for now

If shear stays low that pocket of moisture might be just enough to keep the dry air from infiltrating. It will really depend on how it's structure evolves.SFLcane wrote:But yikes…![]()

Re: Tropical Wave in West-Central Atlantic
I do wonder if this looking better and stronger has implications on 93L and vice versa. Both are starting to pulse up some convection.

Looks likely should be 94 L by morning , and chances of formation likely will rise to at least 30% by next update.

Re: Tropical Wave in West-Central Atlantic
ASCAT B caught the edge of it. about 2 hours ago.
currently that would put the center right under that ball of convection.. seems to be on its way.

Re: Tropical Wave in West-Central Atlantic
It is a race between soon to be 94L and 93L to see who becomes Fred, but it looks like this wave might have an edge

Re: Tropical Wave in West-Central Atlantic
ASCAT A caught it about an hour earlier than ASCAT B . .. looking like its on its way. may have been a reformation between the two. which is normal during this stage.

Re: Tropical Wave in West-Central Atlantic
Folks we have ourselves a closed circulation but it’s still kinda weak. Convection needs to persist but it’s on its way as aric mentioned.

Re: Tropical Wave in West-Central Atlantic
Closed circulation with convection and some model support. When will they designate this as an invest?

Overnight more then likely. Again those wind barbs are still on the weak side but if it can fire convection it might be on its way.

Funny how the disturbance that has yet to be tagged as an invest seems to be way closer to developing than either of the currently tagged invests lol

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.
