Unless this thing sits here for days it can't strengthen into a 5 if it has to pass over Cuba and hit southern Florida. If the track takes it up the west coast of Florida then it is possible to be close or as strong as Charley. If it does decide to stall out for a long period of time it could also upwell cooler water and weaken it a little. Everything will have to pan out like the track of charley to really get cranking and not make a southern Florida landfall. I don't see this storm having a chance for a Cat 5 unless it stays off the coast and moves all the way up the west coast of Florida and hits the panhandle or does a track similar to Katrina or Rita.

The system is now looking rather raggedy and not very healthy on infra-red or visible imagery. This might mean a possible, at least temporarily, TD 19-type scenario.
Here is the system...
It has pretty good outflow; however, convection has gotten less organized. Also, shear has increased (see below), potentially weakening the system... shear is now starting to approach 15KT to 20KT...
In addition, there is a large amount of dry air to the north of the system, likely contributing to less organization (disorganization).
Looks like the storm may have been, for now, overhyped slightly.

Center is south of Jamaica at this time, where shear is actually decreasing.

Its during the day and normally the convection dies down during the day! Wait until tonight and convection will refire! Looks like theres already a new blow up of convection forming! IMO we already have a depression since they have found west winds so that means theres a LLC. most storms don't go from nothing to Tropical storm so just give it time! Just b/c convection looks to be dieing down doesn't mean anything in the long run right now!
