I was about to post a question about this system east of the Windward Islands but I guess this TWO answers it.

Some interesting convection, but need to be organised. Worth keeping an eye though ...

I think clearification is needed to ajudge what really is the forecasted wind shear tendency ahead of this potent system east of the islands. Accuweather officials are hinting on winds becoming more favorable as this inoquous system progresses westward.NHC in the TWO are suggesting contrary.

If it can hold together and make it into the Central Caribbean, it may have a chance.
