Looking at the short-wave IR loop tonight, it looks like convection is still displaced east of any kind of possible low-level center.
WSW shear continues to be an issue for this invest and will continue to be an issue for the next 3-4 days or so. The shear is being caused by an Upper-Level Low centered just to the north of the Dominican Republic.
That Upper-Level low should move west over the next several days and by days 4-5 end up in the NW Caribbean and weaken.
I don't see any kind of possible development for the next 4-5 days until this invest reaches the Western Caribbean, assuming it is still in tact.
The northern solution of a possible strong East Coast storm and a sooner recurve in the Central or Eastern Caribbean shown by the CMC the past several runs does not seem likely at this point.
