Still a very large tropical wave, 97L appears to have lost much of its deep convection today though it appears to be regaining a little at this hour. I have also noticed that it appears to be on a heading more northward --say wnw-nw...being it is not a closed, classified system, I am looking at the system as a whole instead of just the low moving just n of wnw and that is what i see. Models agree on a wnw-nw movement through the period so this makes sense. However, this is just the openner to what promises to be a very active Cape Verde season so watch it and be prepared US coast as its becoming crunch time!
