Spawned by high-amp trop wave in mid-Atlantic

I'll buy it.
Looking at the theta-e models, this appears to be formed by the large-amplitude tropical wave that is current moving thru the mid-Atlantic.
It is currently at 40W.
Genesis looks to be in about 114 hours.
Water gets warm fast past 50W. I'll bet we'll see convection fire up then and a roll start on MIMIC-TPW.

TROPICAL WEATHER DISCUSSION NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 205 AM EDT WED JUN 03 2009
A TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 40W/41W S OF 17N MOVING W 10 KT. THIS WAVE IS HIGH AMPLITUDE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH A LARGE INVERTED V SIGNATURE APPARENT IN THE STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS AND AN ASSOCIATED MOISTURE MAXIMUM NOTED IN THE TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER PRODUCT. WHILE THE WAVE STRUCTURE IS WELL DEFINED... CONVECTION IS ISOLATED MAINLY WITHIN 300 NM EITHER SIDE OF THE WAVE AXIS S OF 10N.
