Funny you mentioned that Lou. The initial output was test and then it flipped over to 91L when I checked 5 or 10 minutes later. Thanks for letting me know because I wasn't 100%. You can see it active on the top right of the site under active storms.

Chris, that's a "Test" Invest.
The number was the clue. The last Invest was 97L. The next would be 98L.
The tropics won't be quiet too much longer. The ITCZ has pushed further north and is showing quite a bit of activity including a weak LOW that has formed. Also the Monsoon trough has also expanded north along with the ITCZ. The first image below shows the active ITCZ and also shows disturbances lining up across Africa. The second image which is water vapor shows how the northward surge of the ITCZ and the Monsoon Trough have cut off the SAL coming off Africa. You can see the previous SAL outbreak nearing the Caribbean but notice how the ITCZ and the Monsoon Trough have now moistened up the area east of the SAL all the way to Africa.

No tropical development on the models out to August 4. The GFS, NAM, and Euro bring a tropical wave across Florida on Sunday. _________________ LOU

MARGINALLY CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT...SO ANY ADDITIONAL
ORGANIZATION OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE SLOW TO OCCUR. REGARDLESS OF

If the convection continues to build the NHC may bump the wave to 20% at 2 pm which would make an Invest possible. I do see some signs of the cloud tops warming which means it's not getting stronger. I also don't see any pressure falls that are significant.
