Cape Verde development looking a little less favorable

While it may still be likely that Tropical Storm Debby will form from this Cape Verde disturbance, she may not be the live-forever Cape Verde storm, that say, Hurricane Ivan was. The reason is the upper level low (that vague swirly donut near the lower right) that she will have to slide by a few days from now. The south side of that circulation will generate a pretty fierce wind shear directly in the face of the tropical storm or depression that comes out of this Cape Verde disturbance. We may still get Debby out of this one, but I think the name is safe from retirement on this go around, and we're pretty certain to also get another Debby in 2012.
