Dry swirl (LLC?) in Gulf of Gonave.

In the bay west of Haiti you can see a spin. It needs some convection.

Wow... good eye. I definitely didnt have the eye sight to spot that. Lots of shear overhead at the moment, co convection probably would be smashed, but cool feature.

You see those fairly often around there as outflow boundaries are left over and interact. While the water is warm, the area is surrounded by mountains, meaning it's a pretty hostile place for development - which is why, as far as I know, no storm has ever initiated there.
