if the two active atlantic waves are going to merge, likely neither would develop in the meantime. these are low tempo features, not going to do anything in a hurry, no surprises. like most are saying today, i'd put more emphasis on the trailer than the leader, way things look just now. globals less interested in either today, so no excitement there.
lot of convection over the southeast today, but nothing of tropical interest. offshore convection looks random.
like to spot everything.. the wave near 67w still has that elongated mid layer vortex near 21n, charging west, amounting to nothing..
interesting cluster NE, yes NE of bermuda. it is over marginal water and hasnt got anything kicking it, so just another little sideways possibility to look for. something the models dont see, at least.
anyhow, thundering here. signing off.
