Blob watch at SW caribbean

That area of convection is ITCZ related.The water vapor pic shows plenty of subsidence in a big area of the caribbean sea..The key for this convection complex to do something that may turn cyclonic is to persist for 24-48 hours,have pressure falls in the area,have an anticyclonic area aloft and dont have too much upper shear.Let's see if this area poofs during the day or mantains much longer to then take a second look.

No Shear, a bunch of precipitable water, but some dry air. The blob is still connected to the ITCZ. If something were to form it would just move into Central America and head into the EPAC.

That is a Upper-level Low interacting with a Tropical Wave. Luis doesn't look like that Tropical Wave will survive the tremendous shear it has to get through to get to the Caribbean.

Nothing to worrie about there.Tremendous shear,dry air and already mid-latitud systems in tropical atlantic.So I say in bold no more tropical development east of the islands in 2004. :)

The most energy there is going to the EPAC.

Yes it does look that way. I wonder if this could shift over there and develop into anything.

I like the curved shape, but the main depth is obviously across and over into EPAC...

Well it looks to be mostly on the E-Pac side now.

As I said yesterday it is ITCZ related and most of the energy has gone into the EPAC but still another area of convection has emerged from Colombia this morning but without any organization.

Agreed - no organization now. But there is a a weak wave coming along. See the other thread I just started.

Looks like another pulse jumped off Colombia. I always like a wave that looks 'round'...
