NHC has the yellow crayon out. 20% chance of a tropical wave coming off Africa to develop in the next 5 days. No model support for any development. Just something to watch. The MJO pulse is favorable for convection in that area. But the dry air and dust is still there. Stay tuned. I’ll try and post some model runs and have some discussion on this later. #SELAWX
