I suppose that these waves really do need to be watched. They can develop fairly quickly when they reach a favourable environment. Speaking of favourable conditions, it seems that SSTs in the East Atlantic are beginning to warm. This means it will probably be only about 4 or 5 weeks before a storm will be able to form further east than the Gulf and the W. Caribbean.
