Speaking of things over land

The wave over Africa has an X just on the edge of the outlook map. I don't know if I have seen an X partly off the map. 10% chance in 48 hours and it is was still over a day, from 2pm Thursday, from moving off Africa. The X was introduced at 2pm. Prior to that just the formation area was shown. Or maybe the X would have been off the map completely then.

"TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
200 PM EDT THU SEP 15 2016

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Ian, located well to the east-northeast of Bermuda, on
Tropical Depression Julia, located offshore of the South Carolina
coast, and on Tropical Depression Twelve, located west-northwest of
the Cabo Verde Islands.

1. Cloudiness and thunderstorms associated with a broad low pressure
system over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico have become a little
better organized since yesterday.  Some additional slow development
could occur before the low moves inland over the Texas coast Friday
or Friday night.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent

2. A tropical wave is expected to move off of the west coast of Africa
by late Friday, and then move generally west-northwestward over the
far eastern Atlantic.  Initially, conditions are expected to be
conducive for some development of this system after it moves
offshore, but these conditions are forecast to become less favorable
by early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent
