Well, unless the easterly shear relaxes, that swirl has very little chance of sustaining itself.

Looks like shear is abatting a bit ahead of the Lesser Antilles maybe allowing for more convection soon.

I don't think it's a shear problem. Shear is okay there, it's just lots of dry air. I think this week is out for development. Odd for early August. Once the MJO is favorable I think things will pop.

Looks like an healthy blob approaching Barbados and the Windwards islands.

The LLC that I have been tracking the last couple of days is well east, near 14N & 52W, of the area of convection east of Barbados this morning.
The vorticity appears to be dying little by little.
