It's a probably still a bit early for a Cape Verde system to fully develop and / or make it all the way across, but it HAS been declared an Invest.

Also, from what Dr Jeff Masters said about SST's (Sea Surface Temperatures) in his blog yesterday, the waters where it is NOW are quite warm enough for development, but out in the middle of the Atlantic, they are a couple of degrees cooler.

Note that, at this point, all but one of the models is showing a right turn.
BUT the SHIPS has it intensifying to a hurricane.

Should be interesting . . .

WOW It is too far out to believe the models, could be a couple of weeks away, have to watch this one close though!!

1. THE WELL-DEFINED TROPICAL WAVE IN THE FAR EASTERN ATLANTIC...ABOUT 300 MILES SOUTHEAST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS...HAS NOT BECOME ANY BETTER ORGANIZED THIS MORNING AS IT CONTINUES WESTWARD AT ABOUT 15 MPH. HOWEVER...ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR SOME ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT...AND THIS SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
