Well, I'm not expecting any major tropical catastrophe at this point in time.

The wave in the Caribbean along 68W looks far more threatening than 96L lthis morning. It is purely tropical and moving toward a prime area of late-season development. We'll have to watch this one.

Absolutely agree wx57, that's why I've been pounding the drum on this one the past 2 days. Definitely the area of concern in November.

Of course, wind shear is pretty high across the eastern/central Caribbean now, so the upper low associated with 96L to its NW will have to get out of the picture to the west first. Could be something to watch around Wednesday.
