A possible LLC at 8N 32W? Need help
I can not get a better look at it! Anyone have a goo site to use beside NASA GHCC?

You should post why you feel this why to help others.
Drezee...
I think the same should be asked of the people who say that one of these waves will likely develop.
As I mentioned previously, I've noticed over the years that in the Eastern Atlantic it takes a little more than 80-81* SSTs to develop something. This has to do with the stable atmosphere that normally prevails in this area during June/July. Thus, right now...SSTs are only marginal for development.
The most interesting factor that I think is going against these waves right now is the dry air surrounding them to the north and northeast. It is debatable whether it is actual SAL or due to the southern extension of the Azores High drawing the dry air from the cooler waters up north, but in any case, it is not helping them. You can tell by the way the thunderstorm activity this morning was weak/moderate at most throughout this region. You can have an idea of dry air causing an impact when we not see the usual explosion of thunderstorms relating to the nocturnal maxima during the morning hours.
It is still June and I wouldn't worry about anything developing this far, this early. Yes, I would monitor these waves, but will not panic or predict anything atypical about them until they move further west across the Atlantic and into the Caribbean Sea or I see improving atmospheric/environmental conditions.

I agree to a point Hyper. I mean an easy explanation is because it hasn't happened to our knowledge in history. I will chime in on this situation a little differently. I have always like tropical waves that have a moisture laden sacrificial wave right in front of it. This normally does not happen in June. The normal progression is a lone wave is strong for the time of year and has no environmental support. This wave on the other hand has a nice wave in front of it to "plow" the dry road in a sense. Do I believe it will develop? Maybe, I'd say 25/75 against. Normally, I would say 1/99 though. So in a sense, I think it has a much better chance than most waves. The SSTs at 8N are not marginal, they are quite warm.

drezee,You dont have to worrie about this thread being locked as your initial question was good for a new thread.Also the discussions are going good in here.
Hyperstorm,I have a question about the Saharan Air Layer.How do you see the Atlantic this year in terms of more moist air or less sal?

Cycloneye...
It is impossible to predict with great degree of certainty how widespread/frequent the SAL will be in any given year. It all depends on several factors including the strength/postion of the Azores High and any drought conditions over Central and Western Africa, etc...
From what I've seen,, the Azores High has been in a more southern position than usual for this early. This causes dry air from the North Atlantlic to come down into the tropical Atlantic. It also brings cooler waters to the NW coast of Africa. I believe I also read that there has been no significant drought conditions over Western Africa. If this holds true throughout the rest of the season, we might see less frequent outbreaks of SAL over the Eastern Atlantic and most of the dry air would come from the waters up north.
The average number of Cape Verde systems in any given year is 2-3, so we can see that the Eastern Atlantic is not the most favorable place for development anyhow...
