Maybe it is just me but do I see...

a twist in the tropical wave east of the Lesser Antilles?

Here is the visible loop...

Or am I seeing things?

It has more to do with upper level shear that is tearing off the upper clouds of that system. It gives the appearance of a twist; since the storm is headed westward, and the shear is tearing north east.

The water vapor pic tells what is going on upstairs in the atmosphere.There is an upper low south of Puerto Rico causing the diffugent flow east of that low making things favorable for convection to form but making things unfavorable for tropical development..

Oh... that's classic.

I'm looking at a high-res visible loop. Up to about an hour ago before it got dark, I believe that I can see some mid-level turning in the vicinity of 11N/56W. It's east of the islands so they may not indicate anything. Shear is quite high over the system due to an upper-level low over the eastern Caribbean. Development chances are very low. But it'll be a rainy next 24hrs across the southern islands.

That is nothing then a tropical wave moving into the Leewards. That dry air to the west will likely keep it in check with the upper low cyc talked about.

No... these have white flags surrendering to the wave.

Kinda like the French tank 5 gears,1 forward and 4 reverse.

The forward speed is in the event of a rear attack.

you know, guys, there are people from other countries that post on this board too.
I am not so sure they would appreciate your french jokes. we do have a poster here from the french island of Guadeloupe, I think.
Wouldn't those jokes be better in PM"s to each other?
I am not french but personally I don't particualrly like any ethnic jokes myself.
I know no harm is meant, but still..................

It's not them... it's their government.

Brent, that is a matter of opinion actually, and I just think those comments do not belong in our Tropics forum.
can't we just stick to weather?

Don't you think we can become TOO PC? I mean...if we can't pick on the french...then life really isn't worth the living. After all...the french bring it on themselves. And in reality...it's not all French...it the Parisians. The French aren't bad...the Parisians are not worth a dime.

nope, I don't think we can be too PC..not here on this forum anyway.
do it with your friends or on the other forums,but don't subject me to it, please?
All I ask is that we just stick to weather here!
