Tropical Wave East of Lesser Antilles
Seems to be some swirling taking place in that ball of convection near 10N 37W. Been following it since yesterday evening.

Re: Tropical Wave midway almost between Africa and Lesser Antilles
Hi mi friend. I modified the title to a more general one to describe the location better. You had 37W but the wave is moving and the title has to be changed constantly when there are longitudes.

Re: Tropical Wave almost midway between Africa and Lesser Antilles
Is this what the CMC is trying to develop?

Re: Tropical Wave almost midway between Africa and Lesser Antilles
Looks like it to me. We'll see if other models start picking up on it as well

Colors of lost purpose on the canvas of irrelevance
Not a meteorologist, in fact more of an idiot than anything. You should probably check with the NHC or a local NWS office for official information.

I agree it’s something to watch, but maybe the models don’t develop it due to all the Saharan dust north of it. It may be a dark horse if it stays diminutive until closer to CONUS.
Edit- upon inspection of TPW, the wave just behind it at 30W is the one more concerning to me because of how embedded in tropical moisture it is.

Re: Tropical Wave East of Lesser Antilles
With how these waves have been in July, I am afraid to see what they will do in a more ideal climate now moving into August and September. I’m thinking we will see a train of canes more than once this season.

Re: Tropical Wave East of Lesser Antilles
A central Atlantic tropical wave has its axis along 43W from
02N to 16N, moving westward at 15 kt. This wave marks the leading
edge of a pool of deep atmospheric moisture. Isolated showers
and thunderstorms are within 180 nm east of the wave axis from
04N to 13N. This activity could increase during the overnight
hours.

02N-15N, moving west at 10-15 kt. Isolated moderate convection is
found related to this wave near the ITCZ associated with this
wave.

After being almost devoided of convection,it has flared a little bit today.

An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 52W-53W, from 17N
southward, moving westward 15 to 20 knots. Scattered moderate
convection is see from 10N to 14N between 50W and 54W.

Re: Tropical Wave East of Lesser Antilles
I saw this too.
Good 850mb vort.
However, a strong UL jet is forecast by GFS over the entire Carib as the wave moves thru.
IMHO, slim chances for development unless GFS is wrong.
