It's nice to see so much blue out there during late August.

One slightly warm core, very weak low - remnant of a frontal low - spinning about harmlessly near 37N 71W mentioned in this morning's TWO.. the feeble wave near 48 w, and a few weak trofs here or there.. that's pretty much it.

A few of the models, including some of the better ones, have suggested some features perking up by mid to late next week, perhaps most notably a stealthy feature a few runs turn up in the southern Caribbean, and one or two decent 850-925 vorts off Africa, with something down at the surface. Might be some stuff to watch in the Caribbean, SW GOM. It's August, so these are believable, if for no other reason than... it's late August.

Dean sputtered out over the mountains of Mexico, but helped propel a beneficial MCS into the southwest.
