Note that 850mb winds in its immediate path increase to 25-30 kts, or more. Not good for near-term development, but those winds forecast to drop to 15 kts near the Yucatan. That is good for low-level convergence. GFS and Euro move the ridge over Texas east to the Carolinas by Thursday, opening up the western Gulf for a northerly turn toward TX if it does develop, or even if it doesn't develop.


Thanks wxman57 for your thoughts on development and guidance.

Land interaction with Hispaniola and later with Cuba than wind shear looks to be the biggest inhibitor for further development over the next day or two.

You can see from the recent sat photo posted by NDG that it is starting to get "that look". Very unscientific, I know. But compared to the way the system "looked" 48 hours ago, I would say that it has become much more ominous.

There is nothing that lies more than a satellite image. Our brains are designed to recognize patterns and if it looks like a tropical cyclone, we think it's. But the true story is at the surface and based surface obs, this system is not getting any better organized at the moment. Pressures are high and it's running into high shear and mountainous terrain. Any development is likely to occur after it crosses the central Caribbean

Vorticity on the wax again south of Puerto Rico, a bit stronger at the 700 mb level than 850

Things thing is persistent; I don't expect anything until after it passes Jamaica, but then its a whole new ballgame.

someone please show this shear. I don't see it in the wv loop or on CIMSS charts.

I don't see it either, I do see land interaction that is hindering this from developing further. The wave does look to have some nice outflow right now though.

10-20 knots, add 15 knots to compensate the motion of the system against the shear and you get 25-35 knots of wind shear.

Cindy was on a high shear environment but it was moving with the shear, so essentially it was able to partially cancel most of the shear effect and develop.

I see it now.. Really can't tell by looking at the WV loop.

:uarrow: Very humid and some good CAPE (convective available potential energy) there.

"Relative" wind shear is already incorporated in UW-CIMSS wind shear graphics.
If you look at Santo Domingo's sounding from tonight, it shows nothing but easterly winds in the upper levels of the atmosphere.

I'm think that shows 10 to 20 kts. because of the different direction at lower and upper levels but not in addition to. The wv loop shows good outflow from 65w to 75w in the general area of this disturbance.

Yea, fuel is definitely not the problem for this system.

Definite no westerly winds in the upper levels with 90L in the area of its H85 vorticity. 5-10 knots of wind shear max at the most is a good bet.

This might the main problem, as to why no development in the short term.

not much at the surface ... convection driven by divergence aloft, not much convergence at the surface

So far through 72 hours, the NAM has went noticeably further south..
