A combination of low-level stable air and moderate easterly wind shear is keeping TD2 below Tropical Storm intensity. The latest intensity estimate is 30kts and 1006mb, and still heading W at 11kts. The forecast track has changed very little since yesterday. TD2 is still expected to reach TS status later today.
Elsewhere, the potent easterly wave I referenced yesterday has now exited the African coast and will be monitored for development. Several computer models suggest this could become a storm to cause concern in the distant future.
I wanted to point out that my webpage at http://einstein.atmos.colostate.edu/~mcnoldy/tropics/atlantic/ is a little different... I reorganized the links. So you might need to hunt around a bit at first to find your favorite resources, but hopefully the new system will work out better for people.
