Got a cherry

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BECOME MORE CONCENTRATED NEAR AN AREA

OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE

CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR GENERALLY

FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TROPICAL DEPRESSION DURING THE

NEXT DAY OR TWO. THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH CHANCE...60 PERCENT... OF

BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES

WESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH.

I just hope it makes it past 45W. Environment seems nasty. Might have to make way for the wave or two behind it.

It seems like things are a go for this to become a tropical cyclone in the next 24-48 hours, but anything beyond a strong tropical storm looks iffy as it gets caught up in a weakness in the mid-level ridge and effectively gets stuck as the ridge tries to build back in. Meanwhile, upper level westerlies rip it to shreds. Shades of Fred 2009 although I doubt it ever gets that strong.

Taking a look at the models more closely, I'm really surprised the Euro is not developing the system more than it is right now... it doesn't even really have a depression. This might be one of the few times the GFS scores a coup against the ECWMF in regards to genesis, but it hasn't happened yet so we'll see ;)

2. SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS

ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW PRESSURE AREA LOCATED ABOUT 350 MILES

WEST-SOUTHWEST OF THE SOUTHERN CAPE VERDE ISLANDS IS BECOMING

BETTER ORGANIZED...AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD BE FORMING. IF

CURRENT TRENDS CONTINUE... ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE INITIATED

LATER THIS MORNING. THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH CHANCE...90

PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS

AS IT MOVES WESTWARD OR WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH.

I'm not even sure this makes it to tropical storm strength... the convection is strong but the system is highly elongated looking at the most recent microwave. This structure needs to improve before any sort of development can take place, regardless of the environment. About half of the intensity guidance models show little to no development, and that could prove to be true if convection fizzles later tonight.
