I'd be surprised if recon goes out tomorrow.

Do you think we will get any rain or wind along the NC coast? :flag:

more than likely but this also could double back SW and cause only fringe showers

12z GFS's forecast for 18z tomorrow about the time recon will be in the system investigating it.
According to this forecast the system seems to begin acquiring some subtropical characteristics but strongest surface winds could be far from the surface low pressure center.

It would be a weird way to start the season with a sub-tropical named storm 8-)

Not necessarily, most May storms that form in this region start out Subtropical, then possibly transition to fully Tropical after time.

Rain has tapered off some here in NE Palm Beach County late this morning/early afternoon. Wouldn't be surprised if we do not manage to get much more measurable rainfall.

Really?? I would think quite the contrary. I would guess that you guys down there (especially coastal Miami-Dade, Broward, & Palm Beach) will be getting "socked" with heavy rain between this afternoon and this evening??

There may be the first signs of a main vort trying to take shape down in the Florida Straits or just to the west of Andros Island. Radar images show decent rotation and convection in that area currently as it drifts very slowly northward.

NEVER, EVER SAY NEVER in the tropics and weather in general, and most importantly, with life itself!!

I would think that less volatile upper air conditions might exist for the moment, down towards the Florida Straits... but then again, I have to remind myself that this would perhaps more aptly apply if I were watching for purely tropical development. Though I can also see a bit of a twist in the more convective area just east of Andros Island, as i'm looking at the visible satellite I'd agree with your radar based observation and guess that a center might be trying to form perhaps just west of the Northern tip of Andros.

Its very important to remember that the strong upper level winds are needed for cyclogenesis to occur. The jets streak to the north of the Bahamas is providing a great deal of upper level divergence where the low is currently or about to form.

This will be a 100% non-tropical system that MAY slowly gain tropical characteristics as the upper low cuts off and creates a more favorable upper level environment for a (sub)tropical cyclone.

The surface METARs show an increasingly better-defined inverted trough, with greater/sharper veering of winds about its axis.

This area of disturbed weather is still disorganized but it bursting with convection. Models are in agreement and it may be able to form later this week only if it is persistent. We will see.

Zoomed satellite loop appears to show that the low has formed or is in the process of forming in the general vicinity of Grand Bahama/Abaco. There is a very faint turn in the low clouds directly south of Abaco with clouds coming out of the W-WNW to the west.
