Go down the page there and see the positions they have for the caribbean area.But they say by 36 hours it will develop but I dont see signs of anything down there that wants to develop.Shear continues to be enemy #1 for the low to develop and that jet stream in the northern antilles has been persistant for more than 2 weeks.

Hmm, the positions seem to be jumping a lot! It will "start" south of Hispanola, head north<I>east</I>ward, and then head out to sea. I'm not exactly sure what they're looking at. The main action is north of Honduras...

It appears to be jogging eastward away from the Nicaraguan coast but of course those jogs are not to be followed too much but we have to see a true trend to a direction and that has not happened yet.

Well That is good. As long as it sits there it gives it more time for the shear to lessen. Heck I would prefer it just sit there and wait. Than for it to start moving and miss later on in the weekend when more Ideal conditions will exsist for development.
