Nothing but a few disorganized T-storms right now, but I think I see a weak twist starting to form in this area and I'm bored.

I can also see a circulation with areas of thunderstorms developing around it...
this area should move slowly west across the gulf with high pressure to its
north.

ehh, if there was something there it's not there now. Pretty quiet out there, which is fine by me. Being a homeowner with a high hurricane deductible has diminished my tropical enthusiasm somewhat. I'm still here of course and very interested, but I am not as disappointed as I may have been when the tropics are quiet.

The radar out of Cuba doesn't show much.

Nothing right now but a mid level turning over western Cuba maybe in a day or 2 as it drifts westward.
I do see a hint of a trough between Fla. and the Bahamas

It does not look as impressive as earlier on the link I posted above. There are some thunderstorms
in the EGOM and over FL but nothing tropical right now.

Nothing to see here, folks. Time to move on...

It is nice to have some of the rain showers though considering the humidity today
lol

I do not expect any development but this might be the northern end of the tropical
wave over the Caribbean.

A trough is evident between Florida and the Bahamas

I am not expecting development with any of these features at this time.

Looking a tad better this morning, at the mid level, we'll see if the T-storms persist.

ULL there, let's see if it works down to the surface in time.

I see the ULL on WV imagery, but was this not also the TW that went through the islands late last week?

It looks like something is trying to kick-on there but is too weak to break the boundaries of formation.
