A tropical wave formed on July 28 over fairly warm water.

In most seasons, the majority of storms develop from tropical waves.

The storm lost its circulation and became a tropical wave on August 12.

Two days later, the tropical wave organized into a low pressure area, due to favorable conditions.

A hundred or so of these tropical waves, as meteorologists call them, do the same every summer and fall.

Tropical waves, easterly waves, or tropical easterly waves, also known as African easterly waves in the Atlantic region, are a type of atmospheric trough, an elongated area of relatively low air pressure, oriented north to south, which moves from east to west across the tropics causing areas of cloudiness and thunderstorms.
