If this system can survive another 18-24hrs it show a very favorable environment aloft for development. The 72 hr ukmet indicates this system over the central bahamas moving slowly W towards S Fl with an anticyclone right over it...We'll find out soon.

I'm not sure that we are looking at the same image. I see a green blob (the disturbance near the southwestern Bahamas at 24N/78-79W extending south across Cuba to another blob of precip. Nothing up at 27N (well north of the Bahamas) and nothing east of the Bahamas.
