She's lost a lot of convection... almost naked! :o

Developing systems lose convection just about all the time, like we are seeing with Invest 90L. It could look worse. There is more convection at the moment than there could be.

As long as the convection refires sooner rather than later this system is still a player.

Dry air once again is playing a role on another system that was trying to develop.This season so far dry air has been the main factor for TD#2,TD#6 and tropical wave/Claudette to fizzele east of the lesser antilles.

Ironically, latest SAL imagery from CIMSS doesn't show a whole lot of the Saharan Air Layer involved with 90L.

It's pretty comon for these developing systems to have fairly drastic pulses in convection. The rotation is getting better and I think it's a long way from dead! :-)

It is definitely not dead, but it's not as well organzied either as it was yesterday. It's what I suspected. While this wave has held together better then the other past CV waves, I don't think we will see significant development of this wave untill it gets to 50W. We might see this thing become a depression or maybe a minimal TS before then, not much more else. It just still too early for this CV waves to develop quickly so far out in the Atlantic.
