Central Atlantic Tropical Wave

[Blown Away]

I'm a little surprised this area has not been tagged with a 10% Lemon... Persistent convection and some model support in the long range...

Have been looking at that wave this morning. The 925mb vorticity is fairly impressive.

There is a swath of Saharan Dust out ahead of it. In light of its location in the open Atlantic, maybe they’re taking a wait and see approach.

Not only at 925mb but all the way up to 500mb stacked. The one behind it just south of the islands looks like it has some rotation too.

Its already starting to dry out at 10N and the environment to the WNW is still brutally dry.
No circulation evident yet but, these early waves pull moisture up from the ITCZ that reduce the SAL for following systems closer to Cape Verde season.
