There's a weak surface spiral moving flat west above Panama.

The wave is too thin and sheared to be active, but is what you are looking for for late season Caribbean activity.

Nothing there. Too dry. The stationary front is driven so far south by the penetrating northern airmass that it has linked with the Amazon ITCZ. This is showing you the inhibiting pattern of 2006.

JB -- Saturday night and this morning -- is suggesting that this area of disturbed weather, along with the remnants of Pacific Hurricane Lane, and the frontal boundary coming down MAY create some trouble in the western GOM later this coming week.

If nothing else ... and in a season of nothing much to watch ... I suppose I'm mildly interested in seeing what unfolds.
