Hmmm...this is the 8am TWD from NHC:
W-CENTRAL ATLANTIC TROPICAL WAVE IS TILTED FROM SSW TO NNE NEAR
SURINAME TO 18N54W MOVING W 10-15 KT. SATELLITE IMAGES SHOWS
TWO ENERGY CENTERS WITH THE WAVE.. ONE AT THE NORTHERN END NEAR
16N AND OTHER ONE NEAR THE ITCZ S OF 10.5N. MOISTURE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE NORTHERN PART OF THE WAVE SHOULD ENTER THE SOUTHERN
LEEWARD ISLANDS LATE TODAY AT ABOUT THE LATITUDE OF GUADELOUPE.
THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE WAVE IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE
WINDWARD ISLANDS OVERNIGHT WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS EXPECTED
OVER THAT AREA THROUGH MON. THE GFS EVEN SUGGESTS A WEAK LOW
COULD SPIN UP IN THE S PORTION OF THE WAVE BY THE EARLY PART OF
THE WEEK. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW TSTMS ARE FROM
15.5N-17.5N BETWEEN 52W-58W WITH WIDELY SCATTERED TSTMS FROM
8N-11N BETWEEN 51W-58W.

Looking at SAT. images this morn the area( 16n 56w) starting to show more convention and will be in the most favorable environment in the Basin for the next few days so we might want to keep an eye on this area. "BEARS WATCHING"

Before anyone gets confused - the space shuttle was mentioned earlier in this post, and I wanted to reply to that comment:
I managed to get out of bed to see the shuttle early this morning, and, at first was dissappointed because there was so much high and middle cloud debris left over from last evening's thunderstorm complex, but, on walking around to the other side of the building, found a large break just to the west of directly overhead, stretching southwest.
I waited until approximately 5:43, and, sure enough, there was the first "star" (from the NASA web site, the first dimmer one was the ISS), however, I was surprised to see the next much brighter object only a short distance behind the first - from what I had read on the web site, I though the shuttle was to be 30 seconds behind, and I suppose it was, but, if looking up at the sky, to the human eye I'd say it only to be about 6 inches behind the first, however, from what I heard this morning, the shuttle was actually 50 miles behind the ISS - talk about an optical illusion!
From what I understand, the shuttle was much brighter because the while tiles were reflecting the sun while pointing earthward - it was a real treat, even if the cloud window only allowed me to see it for about 30 seconds!
