I'd agree if the favorable MJO wasn't inches away, and considering the sacrifice wave that's moving directly over the CV islands right now, the SAL will not be an issue for much longer.

I have to agree - this is likely the start of the cape verde season.
Time for the SAL to say bye bye. Hello to favorable MJO.
