SST's in the area are still above average...wind shear is still below average....can never discount anything. Perhaps we will see a mention in the TWO soon if the convection persists.

I don't think general instablity is quite enough in this region right now to get anything going, 92L did come close but conditions aren't quite as good for this one as they were for 92L.

Thats certainly an explosive looking wave, wouldn't like to see that coming off Africa in late August/early September time, as it is it'll probably end up not quite making it across just yet because conditions aloft still aren't quite there.
