Eastern Atlantic is not much better at the moment with the SAL out there.

I've been saying all along that there was just too much SAL out there for development.

Tons of dry air out there right now. Even the NHC is making notes about it now how it will inhibit any development for the next few days. Unless that dry air lifts up, or otherwise gets out of the way, this will be a whole lot of nothing.

Still no closed circulation that I can make out on satellite photos. The one behind this one actually looks more impressive. Plus there is still one over Africa that has a lot of convection associated with it. blob:https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/945a622d-62e6-412d-93cd-f03b00964225

So far the wave is pretty far south, and to the north, and west is SAL.

Satellite photo of Africa is unimpressive to me. Until you get way out by Sudan/South Sudan.

Too far south, and too much SAL.

It's dead Jim.

As of 5pm advisory from NHC, no surface circulation was found. It has been reduced from an orange to lemon.

99L right between two areas of dry air. Conditions in the central Caribbean are not favorable for development as per the NHC. It will reach there on Tuesday.

Still a lot of SAL out in the central, and eastern Atlantic.

Seems early to see such vibrant colors.

99L is pretty far south, at about 8N. On the other hand Erin broke up a lot of that SAL. Still a lot in the mid and eastern Atlantic. But there is that spot between 90L and 99L that is clear of SAL at the moment.
