Whoa! I can't believe how this came together and bursted so close to Panama.

Behavior and shape suggests development.

I have been comparing it to Odette for a long time now. Just like Odette, convection bursted for several days before any development occurred.

THIS SURFACE LOW IS INTERACTING WITH DEEP LAYER MOISTURE OVER

Well folks, models were hinting at something in this area as far out as 10 days in advance and indeed it looks like something may try to form albeit its unlikely it will every become the monster Paloma became.

That is why I posted the thread for the SW Caribbean early last week. I really had to think about whether I wanted to post that topic or not, but I saw too many models sniffing something out in this area to not at least start a discussion on it.

What's interesting to note is that both Paloma and this area are the result of unseasonably strong cold fronts pushing south and stalling over the SW Caribbean for several days, where water temperatures are very warm. It's quite rare for cold fronts to push that far south this early in the season. Since upper-level conditions are marginally favorable to very favorable in the SW Caribbean in late October through November, its allowing formation of tropical cyclones even this late in the season.

You got burned using this type of language a lot this season, and it looks like this has a good chance of developing now...perhaps bones should take a vacation next season :D

Still nothing there but disorganized convection. Convection can exist in a sheared environment quite easily. But there's no surface low present. Such convergence/convection exists in this region frequently in the late season, but development doesn't occur very often. Winds are all out of the NE-E in the region. Development chances appear quite low. The only model forecasting development is the GFDL (110 kts), but it initializes it as a 42kt TS and the GFDL doesn't handle shear well. HWRF also initialized it as a 40kt TS but weakens it. Clearly, it's no TS now, just an area of convergence wit no LLC. DSHP forecasts steady weakening and dissipation.

You'll be OK with your plans, Derek. ;-)

Here's a surface analysis with satellite from 12Z.

There is a broad, ill-defined circulation. There are some obs which your map doesn't show that indicate winds with a westerly component:

Puerto Limon, Costa Rica reports a west wind at 13z and 14z:
http://www.wunderground.com/history/air ... story.html

A ship over Panama near 9N, 80W reported NNW winds for 3 straight hours between 8z and 11z:
http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shippo ... call=ZCDF4.
This is confirmed by a personal weather station very nearby, which also showed light NNW winds:
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstat ... =IPANAMAC2

Also, David, Panama reported light SW winds all day Sunday, though winds are calm there Monday morning: http://www.wunderground.com/history/air ... story.html

Those stations all had wind of 5 kts or less. The Panama station is reporting 2 mph. David is on the other side of the country from the Caribbean, and its winds are also light and variable. You have to be careful interpreting such light winds as a sign of a circulation, as they're most likely the result of local effects. Panama, for example is a natural wind funnel. Wind comes in the north side and travels SSE toward the exit, thus the light NNW wind reported there.

Is see no evidence of any circulation, even a broad one. My maps show all the obs, though they're not always plotted on a single map.

Ever notice how the NHC very rarely (if ever) uses language such as 'not a chance' or 'guaranteed'...they speak in terms of probability....even a weak td has the potential of becoming a cat 5....but the probability may be well under 1%....but there is still some very very limited chance.

As of update this morning, we have a 'code orange' on this system....meaning a 20-50% chance of development in the next 48 hours.
