Desierto norte de Chile

Maybe the first US landfalling tropical cyclone of 2011?

A tropical wave has been slowly marching westward the past week, now (Tuesday) located south of western Cuba. Convection in the wave has waxed (late last week) and waned (over the weekend), and is now back up again. There also appears to be a mid-level vorticity center co-located (visible satellite imagery hints at rotation) with the disturbance. The dynamical models take it WNW over the next 48-72 hrs and into Texas. Regardless whether it develops, I imagine Texans of all sorts would welcome the rainfall, as they are in serious drought.
