East Atlantic?

Just been looking at the area of very disturbed weather just of the west coast of Africa. It certainly appears very well organised on current visible, infrared, and WV imagery. SST's are only marginal in this region, but CIMSS indicates the system is in an area of relatively weak shear - around 5 knots at 12z today, and also indicates a circulation may be present too.

Any thoughts on this area too?
