Wind Direction (WDIR): NNW ( 330 deg true )
Wind Speed (WSPD): 19.4 kts
Wind Gust (GST): 25.3 kts
The abrupt change screams outflow boundary but the convection is not fading...
Buoy 42058 reporting NNW winds (LLC or outflow boundary?)

This is what I mean:
switched from E to NNW in one hour
also 73 degrees in 10 minutes....
Ok, I see that. I also do see a small outflow boundary on the SW side of that blob of convection. Take a close-up loop of it on this site.

let's see if it persists....hallowed persistence(in the words of an unnamed nws staffer)....pressures in the area have come up an average of 1 mb over the last 18 hours but a diurnal minimum of 1007 is still pretty low....IMHO, in the absence of shear, conditions in the western carib are about as favorable for trop development as they will ever be.
