that is what i am seeing. just take a look at the water vapor....i have a 90% chance of this becoming a TD at 5pm.
Depending on what recon finds in the rest of the storm, maybe even Ernesto?

Thank you very much for posting the images.
Non-pros such as myself, who don't have too much of a clue with the technicalities, find it hard finding the right links to click on, how to interpret the images, etc.
Makes it much easier, and more convenient when someone such as yourself just goes ahead and posts an image from time to time with a simple comment.
Kudos!

it would be nice to have a long tracker for us to watch... that is a storm that could hang aroudn for a while and generate lots of discussion and track probabilities and such. isn't that why we all come here?! these things are exciting to watch form and guess where they are going to go. -too bad the fallout is so bad when they get big. it makes you feel guilty that you can be so entertained by the shear power and then see the destruction and messed up lives they leave behind.

Heat potential gets much better south of Jamaica.

Looks like the West Indies are going to get some bad storms soon.
