Summary
• Updraught, heating and rel. vorticity are tilted over West Africa and upright over the Atlantic
• Diabatic PV tendency at low-levels positive and negative at mid and upper levels
• Increased low-level PV could enhance low-level monsoon flow behind the system and strengthen the AEW trough and AEJ at 700 hPa
