TINY feature N of Puerto Rico

There appears to be a teeny tiny LLC North of the Western Coast of Puerto Rico. Roughly 67W 22N. Was a naked swirl but just recently popped a little bit of convection over circulation.

Maybe someone smarter than me can embed the loop so you don't have to click on link.

Incoming micro-storm? Probably not but neat little feature.

Looks to be too much shear in its current location. Already getting decapitated. Vigorous little circ though maybe as it moves west it finds more favorable conditions to work with.

I wonder if this is the same little feature that was trailing 91L in the open atlantic a couple days ago. Here's a gif of it posted by Aric in the indicators thread:

Persistent little feature for sure!

Same one I noticed several days ago too, the 'convection free closed circulation'. Lasted quite awhile which while not much shows the low level convergence is certainly better than last year

what a weird little spinner, almost like a mini hurricane, and spinning fast too! I swear, there's something to the atmosphere this year, everything wants to spin, everywhere!
