Uh...we have a former TD, a wave in the Caribbean and something should come off Africa.

I think the GFS is way underplaying the wave about to come off of Africa. It should be under that huge ridge as a TS at that time, IMHO.

Here's the 7-day frame of the 12Z Euro (SLP & 500mb height):

Note it's still developing TD10's remnant off north Florida as well as bringing the African wave across under a strong ridge.

Wait another day or two. If the pattern pulses up, we might be looking at a few things by Saturday. The SW Caribbean has that look to it that you pretty much can see something's going to come out of it. A stray low or two (tropical or not) always has a shot at forming close to the east coast, ex10 is still rolling in and Africa is juiced. Hang tight because it won't be long before the season is in full bloom. S2K's going to be a madhouse like it was for Cindy and Dennis. I'm as excited as anyone. With 12 days to go in August, we could be almost be up around M or so for the start of September. I got hit last year by Matthew (6"ish) which was pretty much the end of the season.

Anyway, just be patient for a few more days and I think all tropical watchers will be rewarded.
