I'm seeing some spin in the low level clouds.


Lots of spin showing in this loop:

I don't see the turn NW occuring with either low out there. If they delay in organizing they could very well be alot further west in the long run.

You can see the forward wave trying to circulate but it is being synoptically sheared by a clearly-defined flat line of negative conditions in the Atlantic. This phenomena continues to dominate with pseudo-spring-like conditions even in prime season.

I could imagine Max is starting to worry that a major prediction bust could be unfolding.

Watch the above loop, convection starting to fire around the supposed LLC.

Slowly the wave is organizing and invest status may come later today or tonight depending on if it continies to organize.

I don't know about it "blooming" up near the islands like I said before. If you look at the little wave up by the northern Lessers it isn't doing that well and looks dried out.

I'd say this one has spin so it will convect upwelling air better from the surface closer to warmer and moister South America.

I'll take a risk and say this is our next Atlantic storm.

Cycloneye,where do you see this feature heading. A strong ridge seems to be parked to it's north.The models indicate a northerly turn before the islands.What's your take?

I am 50/50 about recurvature of the system.I prefer to wait until it organizes more if it does so and see if that ridge holds thru the next few days to say anything definite about where it may go.

Is the northerly turn indicated by the models suppose to be created by the ull to the NNW of the wave.

I really dont think the wave is organziing at all.

There is a high amount of vorticity in the area, but no really well-defined closed LLC. I played the feature down during the HRD briefing, which I gave today

My instinct says 1010 entering Ernesto's breeding gorund will form.

If it gets pulled north it might go into the dry air dominating the area.
