Area of Interest - Cape Verde

Tropical low near 12N 22.5W at 17/12Z moving west to west southwest at 15kts. Easterly wave is well defined on satellite imagery with small area of circulation and a large low cloud envelope. No significant convection, but no significant shear either. Water temps slightly below normal and wave is moving into an area of increasing subsidence. If this one develops at all, it will take quite a few days to do so.
Cheers,
ED
