I'm not so sure. It was a very small circulation to begin with and some convection has flared up over where it was tracking. So while there's no evidence in the visible loop now of west winds at the surface, there could still be a small circulation under that convection.

It's also possible, of course, that it has opened up into a wave again.

93L has flared up dispite the shear, looks like he's fighting to stay alive.

2:05 Discussion...

A LARGE TROPICAL WAVE ACCOMPANIED BY A WEAK 1013 MB LOW PRESSURE
AREA IS ALONG 50W/51W S OF 15N OR ABOUT 550 MILES EAST OF THE
SOUTHERN WINDWARD ISLANDS. CLUSTERS OF MODERATE TO STRONG
CONVECTION ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW. A DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
SYSTEM...IF ANY...IS EXPECTED TO BE SLOW TO OCCUR AS THE WAVE
CONTINUES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT ABOUT 20 MPH. SHOWERS AND A FEW
TSTMS ACCOMPANIED BY BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS WILL
AFFECT THE LESSER ANTILLES ON WEDNESDAY. THIS WAVE IS EXPECTED
TO REACH THE VIRGIN ISLANDS AND PUERTO RICO ON THURSDAY...
INCREASING THE CHANCES OF RAIN AND THE RISK OF FLASH FLOODING
OVER THAT AREA

It's still only a wave. No circulation at all. Long way from development.

I still think I'm seeing a very small surface circulation, right inside where I drew this circle:

It appears to have relocated to the NW, closer to the convection than it was tracking before. See the storm relative loop at RAMSDIS.

Definitely a small low-level swirl. We will see what happens.

Yeah that is a LLC this system is better organized then 91L. Why because there is proof of a LLC. This should if that can get some convection over it be upgraded.

Check out the loop here - I think x-y-no found the LLC we have been looking for:

Still looks fairly impressive but it has a long bumpy road ahead of it.Maybe if it goes a little further north like some of the models are showing it wll miss some of that shear in the Carib.

Looks to me it is heading more WNW then W, in fact it may pass north of the islands or go through the northern Leewards missing the shear

I think 93L has a good chance - on the visible there is a nice rotation already and there is plenty of real estate it has to work with....

With those firing, it is harder for me to see that LLC(They seem to be firing right over it in the 1815 visible?)

Well, we'll see ... something this small can go "poof" in the blink of an eye. But I'll agree it has a shot if that convection stays close to that little LLC.

If convection is firing over it then its more organize then 91L. I feel that this could be a depression very soon if it can keep firing convection over the LLC.

You can clearly see the LLC on the loop I gave above. It's where x-y-no put the circle. There is clearly a rotation as the clouds on the west side are moving counter-clockwise. It is still moving very fast at 15-20mph but once it slows as it approaches the islands it has a better chance.
