From the NHC link

While the system is currently embedded in an
environment that is not favorable for development over the next
couple of days, the system is forecast to move generally westward to
west-southwestward across the tropical Atlantic, where environmental
conditions could become more favorable for gradual development in
the central Tropical Atlantic by the mid to latter part of this
week.

1. Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL94):
Shower and thunderstorm activity remains limited with a well-defined
area of low pressure located several hundred miles west of the Cabo
Verde Islands. This system is currently embedded in an unfavorable
environment and development is not anticipated over the next couple
of days. However, this system is forecast to move generally westward
to west-southwestward, and environmental conditions could become
more favorable for additional development by the mid to latter part
of this week. A tropical depression could form as the system begins
moving west-northwestward and approaches or moves near the Leeward
Islands by the end of this week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

To see my son and family, including my newborn grandson who I’ve yet to see. They were not hit badly by the recent storms. Say some kind words that I can get down there safely.

Pretty damn hot. That pinkish patch south of you is roughly the same temperature as the Red Sea or the Persian Gulf.

I kept checking the north Atlantic last week - there were so many red spots that it looked like a pox doctor's waiting room. As always my friend, stay safe.
