I know that everyone is watching things closer to home, but there is a significant tropical low over western Africa near 13N 3W. Yesterday this system was already impressive and it has developed considerably since then. The system is already north of the ITCZ and moving westward at a steady clip. These are the types of waves from which significant cyclones can develop and I would not be at all surprised to see this system become a tropical storm in about a week. Cape Verde storms may not be too plentiful this season, but this one sure looks impressive to me. The waters in the east Atlantic have warmed enough to sustain this system when it exits the coast in about three days. Its certainly something else to watch. Here is a link to the Meteosat image:
