SAL doesnt look too bad. Shouldnt break the wave apart at least. I agree this wave is beautiful. Looks to form into a nice healthy tropical cyclone, although I dont want to jinx it as Irene formed from a very healthy wave as well.

When I look at the picturs of the system, is it possible that two systems could form at around 30 to 40 degrees and the other at 20 degrees.


well there is two waves if that is what your talking about... QS shows two circulations... I didnt bother posting the QS obs because they are from yesterday though...

we have a wave south of 10N and between 30 and 40W and the "monster" north of 10N and around 20W

Nice loop of the strong African wave moving off the coast. Has a fairly good circulation already :eek: . Thoughts and comments welcomed.

Aside from the impressive wave off the African coast, there's nothing else ahead of it at this time (including the old TD10 convection), and, nothing behind it:

Oh, there's plenty behind it, including a rotating wave just leaving Nigeria.

It just hasn't had much convection the last 6 hours or so but is refiring some now.

Remember that a wave isn't convection, though waves usually induce convection.

I would have to agree on that...this is about the time Jeanne/Frances got going last year.

This is the wave we need to start watching and start getting over the remnants of TD10.
