I'm surprised they didn't mention the upper level low. They could have said,
"An upper level low located 200 miles east of Bermuda is producing thunderstorms. While the convection is disorganized at the time, there is some potential for subtropical development over the next few days. Computer models are predicting a low level circulation to develop here."
Still, the area east of the islands shouldn't get too strong in the mean time.

I was very nearly if not directly accused of being a wishcaster, or future one, or something like that yesterday for just mentioning that wave and the one behind it. Some people are always set on attack mode.

If someone calls you a wishcaster or implies it, pm one of the mods. We can't possibly read every post but you can help by reporting it. Thanks!

someone who says or makes a forecast in which they seem to be wishing the hurricane to come to their specific location

A wishcater is someone who bases forecasts soley on where they personally would like to see a hurricane go. Especially their own neighborhood
