Re: Area with spin east of Lesser Antilles
It's just a passing tropical wave, something the Lesser Antilles hasn't seen many of this season. Development chances near zero.

Re: Area with spin east of Lesser Antilles
Looks like the shear monster has taken another one but does seem to develop something on the northern end of the wave near the Bahamas in a few days

Let's hope that Dominica will not get too much from this as the situation is always worrying in terms of amount of water.

We have had a very wet night some heavy rain all night and some thunder and lightning! The radio is telling everyone to stay home. Offices and all business's will be closed here in Dominica today. Luckily, everyone has been warned so hopefully there will not have been any lives lost. Apparently there have been more landslides and flooding but we are not sure exactly where. This weather is a tragedy indeed for Dominica. As I write this it is pouring with rain and it is really dark and really chilly. I hope we keep our internet and phones this time around.

This is at 384hr so take it with a HUGE grain of salt but GFS 12z shows a possible weak TD near Bahamas?

00z shows another one?
