SW caribbean area but the word is persistance.Also the MJO factor will penetrate the atlantic in 2 weeks and things will be more favorable by then.The EPAC will get is first and now there is invest 91E that has a good chance to be BLAS.

Indeed if anything were to develop in the tropics now it would happen there. 8-)

Looks pretty good this morning, let's see how long it lasts. Hope it moves toward Florida with a lot of soaking rain --- but skips the DR/Haiti.

Im really surprised that the GOM is really quiet. At this point and time its usually booming with activity. Its probably being caused by the same high that wont let any rain develop in Florida. :eek:

Our "Blob" seems to be expanding a bit -- though not deepening.

It does have a mid-level circulation from the current convection and yes it is expanding in coverage..peristance and patience..

The Costa Rica 2km visable loop shows it well..It's early so you need to omit some of last nights frames and slow it down.. :roll:

Its a rarity for June but this would be great for my location in the next few weeks.

Would be nice to enjoy the effects of a CAT 1 cane & get some much needed rain.

Nice Mid-Level Swirl

The last few frames of VIS satellite show a nice mid-level circulation.

Convection is not too deep at this time but it has a MLC however there is an upper low south of Cuba a weak one that will not let it do anything.Some of the energy will go to the EPAC but let's see if convection persists but a comming and going thing doesn't help.

In the last images we see that convection might be redeveloping around the MLC, let see what happens in the next hours.
