Lesser Antilles Wave

The "high amplitude tropical wave" located near 20N/ 60W appears to be working down to the surface.
While upper level winds are cyclonic, and not usually favorable for development.
The 200mb map from NHC indicates this area to be on the southern end of a TUTT. Which may be amplifying the circulation.
Latest visible photo (time sensitive) shows cyclonic curvature in the cumulus cloud streets. Over a fairly wide area.
