I agree there is no indication of an LLC. Looking at observations from Cuba and south florida all I am seeing is Easterly winds.

I see rotation off of the Miami radar, however, that rotation is also at +18,000 feet. I don't see any evidence of an LLC.

Sfc Trough and LLC are to different things...so still nothing proving there is a LLC out there...
Sfc Trough: An elongated area with relatively low MSLP, no closed circulation...a local area of lower pressure marked by a windshift and sfc convergence...

I think it's little more than just that causing those storms.

It's a tropical wave and a surface trough... It's not popcorn showers. :wink: :roll:

It's a combination of popcorn showers and the tropical wave and surface
trough...the Tropical Wave and Surface Trough are enhancing
the popcorn showers over Florida...making them more
numerous and allowing them to take on tropical
characteristics such as squally rains and gusty winds
to 35 mph. Some 25-35 mph gusts moved through
my area earlier this afternoon.

All I know is that I don't want to wake up tomorrow and find a storm headed my way. KWIM. This is the weekend the Blue Angels are flying!

I do see a spin on radar just north of the Cuban coast, but that is likely at this time a MLC. However, if convection can continue to refire there is a chance it could work down to the surface. We need to watch this one.

I think this system is a non event-tropical development wise anyway.

Well I doubt the NHC would have mentioned the possibility of "slow development" if this was true.

You can see the shadow the high clouds make on the low level clouds in the sunset visible images. Looks like "slow development" is an accurate phrase. Have to see whats there in the morning.

I'm confused? Do you mean it is inaccurate because you think there will be quick development or no development?

I like the rgb loop. It is a little easier to distinguish the Upper/Mid/Low level Clouds. There looks like there is a mid level spin.
