Re: Tropical Depression Six Forms in East Atlantic

Just to "piggy-back" on the recent images of a low level vort. center decoupling; ti will be interesting to see whether this feature is simply the de-facto center that is simply going to rotate back westward and co-locate with the broader convective mid level circulation. If so, than a northerly course adjustment would have to be made by NHC. I do not think this will turn out to be the case however. Even up to early this morning, the depression center maintained an elongated N.E./S.W. appearance and still in a formative stage with regards to having a well defined center. Should the low/mid level trades continue to rapidly push the larger envelope of this system more or less towards the west in the short term, and a new low level center form underneath, than significant changes to forecast may indeed be forthcoming.
