It certainly is a very strong wave, I'd have thought later in the season it'd probably have a very good shot at developing, right now though as I've said before its too early I feel.

Yea, convection has waned KWT, but it still was one of the most convective waves I've seen come off Africa this year so far....

I bet by August, those waves are going to be developing.........

It may have lost its convection, but it still looks fairly nice.

Evidently it's suppose to interact according to the models with a ULL and I don't think they are figuring tropical development..it's is discussed on the behind 93L thread.
