Believe it or not, the tropical wave near 11 north and 38 west is actually sparking interest in the Navy and at the NHC. It is probably 2-4 days away from any development. However, the upper-level winds become progressively more favorable and the water temps become MUCH warmer near the Windwards (water temps will be key). If this wave holds together, and it likely will, the islands will have to watch this one carefully by mid-week. We all remember Bertha of 1996, but I'm saying this will be like that. A category three is pretty rare in July and Bertha was in early July to boot.
