It's just a tropical wave that is starting to weaken as it moves into a less hospitable environment. Chance of development still near zero. Pressures are also pretty high in the region (1014-1016mb). I keep saying, look elsewhere for the next storm.

May have just been your average ghost. No big deal.

The ghost is gone. Wave is weakening as it progresses westward.

Looking quite impressive today. I wouldn't give up on it yet. ;-) The atmosphere in the Caribbean and in the Tropical Atlantic remains quite stable. Next place to look may be along a front off the SE U.S. coast next week.
