SST is just marginally warm- besides, this time of the year the Saharan air layer presents itself literally pulling the plug on precepitation. It makes for dirty cars in south Florida. That wave presents itself pretty well on the map- but can it traverse in the open waters and become an item of interest next week? Stay tuned.

The wave currently over Mali that hasn't come off is intense.

As for the dust.. hoping it misses South Florida.. that's one strong dust storm moving
this way:

A few models develop the wave as well as a system in the GOM so with two different
models showing development..there might be more than color on the sats.

Just a reminder to all that forecasts/interpretations/projections/dialogue based solely on forecast models really belong in the Forecast Lounge.
Thanks,

Right out of the gates, Invest 92L has been designated for the African wave.

(NHC TWO removed. TWOs are available as a drop-down item from the top of the Main Page as are all other NHC Advisories/Forecasts. These bulletins should not be posted in full - see latest Met Blog for guidance. Also review site rules regarding one-line posts.)

As mentioned above. We now have an active INVEST in the Atlantic Basin.
New Thread should be posted shortly.

Another interesting feature closer to the Caribbean is a low pressure circulation at approx. 13 N/54W moving to the WNW and is currently to the SE of the Windwards. This area hjas gained some convection during the last few hours and has an impressive low level circulation. If shear lessens in the Eastern Caribbean, I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes an invest. Perhaps the MJO is causing some increase in potential in the Atlantic basin.
