Look at what is about to roll off of Africa:

I believe this is the wave that some of the models had progged for development for a few days now.

August looks to be right on target.

This is not an official forecast. I don't know what the heck I'm talking about, etc, blah blah blah.

That is the system I think is likely to become Debbie ... but I'm not going to get excited about it until it gets past 40W without going poof.
