Nice flare up..shear is continuing to decrease,lets see if it can maintain its convection & get its act together a bit.

Wow, what's with that big blob in Middle Caribbean? Is that the same thing we've been tracking?

Not really. That kinda fell apart. If something develops, it's going to be this new blob.

Looks to be a lot of shear going on with this, so that will have to abate before it could get serious, I think.

Think we will still see the area near Nicaragua having the best chance of development. It is the focal point of broad low pressure. Some vortices are spinning around this broad feature, and the area in the central south Caribbean is trying to play tug of war. I ultimately think tthe western Caribbean low will win out (if we get development at all) and this will drift north in time. That's my take.....we'll see. Cheers!!
