Old boundary regenerating in Caribbean

[boca]

Looks like the old frontal zone which brought the nice 50's at night is regenerating in the NW Caribbean south of the western tip of Cuba and east of the Yucactan. I don't think anything tropical will come of this but with the new front coming into Florida Sat should push whatever is down there towards Florida and give us much needed rain that we haven't seen since early Sept.

latest sat pics show some impressive convection blowing up in the NW Caribbean with the lingering front

Any possible development?

I think that area of convection in the Yucatan channel will head towards Florida on the backside of high pressure and the front causing a moist SW flow.

Convection looking pretty darn impressive tonight:

Dixie you beat me by 3 seconds on your post. I was about to post the same thing. Is that the old boundary or something tropical?

Boca -- Actually, I was rather surprised at this burst of energy, might be interesting to watch.

It does appear to be the tail end of that front...

There does seem to be at least some mid level spin associated with it also.

There also appears to be an Upper Level High over top of this area.

Let's see how long it lasts and what it looks like tomorrow.

yep, late night diurnal maximum looking good. Something that will get mentioned if it persists like this...Florida keep a eye in the background in it, at least maybe some rainfall heading our way.
