Boy, it really doesn't look to be moving much at all right now. It's like it's kinda sitting there getting itself together for recon.

Wow ... nice flareup over the center now - if that banding to the NW can wrap around, we may really have something here.

Tell me if Im wrong but this system appears to have two centers, one just north of Cuba, and the other in the se bahamas. Comments welcome

There is a very small but very clear LLC at 22.7N 75.0W

You can see the inflow of the surface clouds from way west feeding into it and wrapping.

We finally have a LLC!

Check out the water vapor loop... shows the system attm moving slowly off to the wnw....

Why don't we just call it Ivan?

Updated - it's a little west of 75.0 now (75.1/75.2 ish). You might have to go back at least 10 frames to see it, the tops from the convection firing to the S and SE of the LLC is starting to hide the LLC on the visibles. But it's definitely there!

Hmmmmm I don't think many on this will like reading that.

yah, i only have 1 class today...so i can track this....this is certainly organizing this morning

I think the overall circulation is really elongated to the west, but the center is just SW of Long Island. If the convectin continues to build back there, we should see this circulation tighten up.

and looking more organized by the minute... convection firing off near the center which is obsecuring its exact location but its still somewhat discernable by viewing the rotation of the low level clouds you can see

It looks like those showers to the north of the center show signs of wrapping....uh oh.

Hope they decide to move the floater soon

[Rainband]

Hope they decide to move the floater soon

I agree

[cycloneye]

Hope they decide to move the floater soon

Yes agree on that.Dixie where are you?

[dwg71]

It appears to have picked up forward speed and is on a b-line for Grand Bahama...

I do too.

[skysummit]

What kind of affect will the ULL to the north of our system have? The ULL looks to be moving a bit faster than our system, and toward the west or just south of due west. Any opinions?

Still looks like a fairly slow WNW motion in the general direction of Andros Island to me.
