Close-Up of NW Caribbean Disturbance - LLC??

Y'all might find this image interesting, it shows what is a developing eddy in the NW Caribbean. Not sure if this means that an LLC is forming, or if it's just a transient eddy. But it sure is interesting. I'll post image 2 here and post a link to an image from 2 hours earlier with more sfc obs in the area:

I'd have to look at a loop but judging by that image it looks like a mid level swirl...

Yeah, could be a lowER-level swirl but not at the surface. Not enough real low clouds around it to get a feel for its altitude.

Looks like this feature is dissipating. Was interesting while it lasted.
