...THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 2 2021 3:10 PM EDT...
Satellite image of quickly organizing tropical wave of low pressure (now tagged as Invest 92L) to the east of Hurricane Larry and southeast of the Republic of Cabo Verde Islands...taken at 1820Z:
The tropical wave of low pressure that has moved into the eastern tropical Atlantic from western Africa and behind Hurricane Larry has made a notable recovery while generating a concentrated thunderstorm mass with signs of rotation near 13.8N-20.2W. This could be due to the westward acceleration of Larry out of the region which has allowed this wave to have room to accumulate surface inflow needed for moisture and thunderstorms instead of competing with Larry. This wave has been introduced in earnest in the NHC tropical weather outlook as of 11 AM EDT due to its close proximity to the Republic of Cabo Verde Islands. This tropical wave will likely slow down and turn more west-northwest in track while caught in a developing surface ridge weakness to the north and northeast to be induced by the divergence zone of upper vorticity to be deposited by the current north Atlantic upper trough. While pushed around by mid-latitude upper ridging...this upper vorticity by 48+ hours is also expected to retrograde southwest toward this tropical wave which will likely increase the shear and also suppress the upper outflow of the wave as the upper vorticity shifts directly over the wave. However for the next 24 hours and before the upper vorticity arrives...I have already assigned 50% odds of development due to the current organized structure of the wave and current low shear and upper outflow induced by the tropical Atlantic upper ridge. This is higher than the NHC outlook product as of this writing which has 30% odds. Interests in the Republic of Cabo Verde Islands may see gusty winds and heavy rains over the next 24 hours...in particular toward the southern islands. After 24 hours...odds of development are trimmed down to 0% by 72 hours to reflect the approach of the unfavorable upper vorticity.
