Cape Verde Region DOES have something of interest ... The GFS/GFDL are wanting to spin up something down there and draw it north-northwestward ... not likely to happen, but just keeps things that much more interesting this season.

It is highly unlikely anything tropical will spin up down there this time of year. What will probably happen is a strong cold core type system will develop and possible affect the UK.
