its a long link. just south of cuba you have a line going from north to south of thunderstorms. look to the left of the bottom of that line and will see the center spinning around.

Well, all it means is that Florida will get some well-needed rainfall. There may not be any inland winds over about 20-25 mph even if it makes TS in some small pocket of squalls.

Convection has been wrapping and banding around the MLC over Cuba all day...but that wasn't where the LLC was...
Convection and wrap and band around a MLC. Look at the SWIR...

You can still see much turning over the channel.
If you turn on the tropical plots, you can see that the center is just halfway across the yucatan channel and is developing strong convection just east of it. IMHO, it looks the best it has looked yet!

As I opened this topic regarding relocation of TD #1 Cuban radar also confirms what may be an LLC reforming instead of an MLC. This could prove to be a very interesting night. Also deep moisture is continuing to stream into the east quadrant from the southern carribean and now to the south of the possible new llc we have streamers coming in from the west with a low level cloud deck forming indicating a very moist atmosphere....

The NHC didn't even mention the MLC in their discussion. They won't change the track unless recon can confirm a developing LLC farther south early in the morning. But it could be possible that south Florida will be "surprised" by a landfall Sunday night/early Monday of a TD or weak TS. They're already being hit by squalls tonight. Rain will only increase there as time goes on.
Well, time for bed. Been up since 5am and at work from 6am to 5pm. Another long day tomorrow.

As I have pointed out before...you cannot use radar to place a LLC...especially at any distance due to Line-of-Sight. At the distance from the radar to the circulation center...the radar is into the mid-levels. You cannot see the sfc from that distance.
Looking at the sfc obs...it does not match up. I am not saying it can't or won't happen...but right now...the obs do not show any LLC in that area. So...whatever is on radar or satellite is in the mid levels...and maybe in the lower levels...but not at the sfc...yet.

The NHC has absolutely no reason to "relocate" the center...it was obvious to everyone where the LLC was at sunset...now many people "forget" about the LLC because they can't see it and then, just like last night, people starting looking for a center that they can "see"...The NHC is not being conservative on this issue, they are being scientific.
