Area South of Cuba

#1 Postby Steve H. » Fri Sep 21, 2012 8:19 am

Interesting area of deep convection to the south of western Cuba this morning. No model support for development, but it is an area that is hanging south of the stalled out front/trough across the east. Perhaps worth watching as this is an area that is favorable this time of year. Haven't looked at any obs in the area but it caught my eye. Otherwise quiet west of 60W.

That's former Invest 92L. You can clearly track it from the eastern Caribbean 3 days ago on the MIMIC-TPW loop;

It's moving into some strong wind shear which dominates the Gulf and BoC, so development is unlikely.
