Jim Hughes has mentioned this and related synoptics in relation to ENSO, tropical activity, and other factors, and how solar wind and ozone layers affect them. This could help solve some points and be crucial in the timing and rate of development of this and other upcoming eastern Atlantic systems.

Convection continues to fire with this wave. Either at the 805 or 205 we should see something on the TWD. Looks like the favorable synoptics are not a dream at this point.
Also to note the storms to the Northeast of the system over africa should be a blocking feature to keep the dry air/ sal out of this developing wave.
Looking impressive this afternoon with no "poofing" going on.
Good low level convegence and fairly decent upper level divergence over the system right now.
