I just got up to check our system and she looks pretty good on the first few visible images. Is she trying to form a little further east now? I read a couple posts saying it's moving NW now. Is this true, or is this the system east of the islands you all were talking about?

no. she's moving NW, as she probably has been all along. But VERY slowly.

I know I seen it moving almost due west most of the day yesterday....or at least the preclaimed "center" was moving west. When I got to bed last night (around 3 a.m.), I thought for sure it would be right near land and about to be crossing the YP, but this morning, it looks to be further east than I thought. Is there something trying to develop under that nice area of convection?

Wxboy, just curious, how can you tell it's moving NW now? We only have 3 or 4 daytime visble images and I can't really tell anything from them. Do you know something I don't, or are you going by that latest model graphic?

Just really curious because if it is moving NW rather than West, I have just become really concerned.

I think it did form a little north and east of the old vort center (the one nearing the yuck yesterday afternoon). That would be inland by now.

There is definetly a low out there now. Look at the low level cu field off the coast of Belize. The clouds are moving east around something that appears to be near 19.5 / 86. So...it's not the old one from yesterday...but a newer one.

just look at a long loop of about 12 hours of IR. you can clearly see the overall spin is moving to the NW, even though individual LLCs that form are moving to the west or WNW.

Yea, you're right! I see those clouds now near Belize moving east. I didn't see them till you mentioned. Thanks for helping me train my eyes :D
