(TheWeatherSpace.com) — The tropics off Cape Verde are heating up and throwing disturbances out into the Eastern Atlantic and one of them looks very healthy.
There are two outlined by NHC, the furthest west one with a better chance of development and another one just coming off Africa with a lesser chance.
However, I would like to keep an eye on the one further east due to the stacked upper level features it has. Invest 92L is detached from the upper level system or easterly wave near it while the one without an invest assigned to it has a circulation developing from the surface to 25,000 feet which is good for a healthy tropical wave.
Knowing where these will go at the time is going to be tough so will wait a day or two, however both systems will track westward through the Atlantic over the next week.
