This may need to be watched the next few days as it has been persistent for 36 to 48 hrs

Yeah, you beat me to posting a topic on this. It definitely looks better than this time yesterday as it drifts slowly north/northwest. Definitely interesting to see if it persists.


It appears that we have a broad surface trough over The Bahamas area currently.

Been watching this fester over The Bahamas for the last few days. Thankfully westerly shear is strong and will likely prevent any development.

Hmmm, don't look now but it appears that a coc is forming just north of the Turks and Caicos.
I think that this it trying to drop to the surface and form a warm core.
Florida just may want to keep and eye on this although it has brought no mention at NHC.

From NHC TWD
A surface trough curves NE from the Windward Passage near 19N74W
to the SE Bahamas near 22N74W to NE of the Bahamas near 26N71W.
Mid to upper-level low pressure centered near 24N73W is supporting
the surface trough. The surface trough continues to provide a
low-level focus for scattered moderate and isolated strong
convection over the SE Bahamas as well as the Turks and Caicos
Islands from 22N to 28N between 68W and 74W. The surface trough
will linger over the Bahamas during the next couple of days while
high pressure builds NE of the area. This pattern will support
moderate to fresh E to SE winds, except fresh to strong S of 27N
through Wednesday night. Winds will also pulse to strong offshore
of Hispaniola, mainly at night through Fri night. The upper-level
low and surface trough will weaken and shift W toward the end of
this week, allowing winds to diminish and seas to subside in this
region.

It's interesting you mention that in that it does look like there is rotation occurring in that vicinity of the Turks. I have noticed it too Outerbanker.

Local met did mention downpours to start the weekend. Could be from this very disturbance.

Something fun to watch, highly doubt anything comes of this disturbance, lots of outflow boundaries and strong UL winds.....MGC

:uarrow:

Also, surface pressures in the region are still relatively high. Buoys near the Central Bahamas are indicating nothing lower than 1015 mb at this time.

Interesting feature though, just simply serving as a little teaser of potentially what is to come with the hurricane season just about a month away from the official start.

Special Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
925 AM EDT Wed May 1 2019

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

A trough of low pressure located over the northwestern Bahamas is
producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. Little
development is expected during the next couple of days as the
system moves generally northwestward toward the Florida Peninsula.
Subsequently, some slow development is possible as the disturbance
turns northeastward and moves over the western Atlantic.
Regardless of development, locally heavy rains are possible over
portions of the Bahamas and the Florida Peninsula during the next
couple of days. The next Special Tropical Weather Outlook will be
issued by 10 AM EDT Thursday, or sooner if conditions warrant.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

OK, now NHC it def gotta keep an eye on it! gotta remember that area it is passing through is a very interesting area for quick development which always makes me nervioso, I think we all remember and olde man named Andrew! Of course don't expect anything like that, but would not be suprised to see some growth leading to Miami maybe seeing sustained winds 30+ and some strong tropical downpours on Thursday. Lucky me as I'm actually driving down to Miami today after work, yeah fun! I geuss this is welcome to 2019 season ; )

Current a lot of shear out there, but it should be interesting as it moves up off of the SE coast. A nice little early season surprise to start off May 8-)
