QS of C Atl Wave

It is open, though it is a bit better defined than I expected. That being said, I still do not forsee any development until at the earliest, Monday afternoon and even these chances are less than 10% at the present time. The key will be whether or not the convection persists for the next 24 hours. If so, then prehaps we will have something worth monitoring

I wish I had taken a look at the quikscat before writing the evening nwhhc AOTO ( http://www.nwhhc.com/gpage1.html ). I probably would have worded it SLIGHTLY differently; however, not all that much as it is unlikely for any significant development to occur over the next 24-36 hours due to the system having minimal surface organization at this time

Hmm, you cant see the actual position of the convection on that quikscat image. You can see the eastern edge, but from looking at it, it does'nt suggest there is a llc to the left of it, but it would have been nice to have a clear picture of it. Thanks Derek.

As always (it seems), the QuickScat "gap" is right over the point of interest. Tropical disturbances must seek out these data gaps so we can't keep a closer eye on them.

I'm watching it, too. Looks like the wave amplified today and it's separating from the ITCZ. Could be interesting.

Will be interesting to watch... although I doubt it will develop into anything at the present time.
