Well, it looks like the Atlantic finally got a bit jealous of the Pacific's activity.

There is a new wave forming in the Atlantic, it is small but looks like it as a shot. CLICK ON THE IMAGE to see a satellite loop of this wave. You can see the low clouds (more yellow tented) turning cyclonically and flowing toward the wave. This is accompanied by a thin cirrus deck aloft (white wispy clouds) which seems to be flowing more anticyclonic and away from the convection. Also, the sea surface temperatures (SST) are 29 to 30 °C which supplies the system with a HUGE energy potential. These are good signs that this wave will continue to slowly develop. Perhaps nighttime convection will give the system a boost!
