The remnants of the thirteenth Atlantic tropical area of interest on this blog this year continues rolling westward across the central Atlantic as a large tropical wave of low pressure. The north side of the wave continues to display itself as a large swirl of dry saharan air while the south side is producing more bands of showers and thunderstorms in the vicinity of 7.5N latitude. However the thunderstorm activity has not reproduced a low pressure spin on the wave's south side... and more recently the thunderstorm activity has waned over the last few hours. Therefore I have not re-upgraded this tropical wave to an area of interest. Elsewhere... it remains quiet across the Atlantic tropics... and none of the major global computer models forecast tropical cyclone formation in the Atlantic basin over the next seven days.
