I find it baffling that the NHC didn't at least mention it, afterall its been there for the past 24hrs and its not been jotting about, the convection has remained in a solid ball, even if it is no doubt being enhanced by the ITCZ.

Convection still hanging on so I really think this one is going to need watching if only because it has been very presistant right now.

The Pro Mets on the board can correct me but I believe the blob of cloud in the ITCZ in association with this wave can be classified as an area of disturbed weather since, according to what I read in a book on meteorology many years ago, an area of thunderstorms that maintains its identity for 24 hours or more is called disturbed weather.

As to if it will eventually develop into a TD, I doubt it. I see this sort of thing in the ITCZ every hurricane season.

OURAGAN, I edited the title to show the real system as it may cause some confusion as the other title that you had was STRONG WAVE OFF AFRICA, and there is another one emerging right now.
