Shear is very low in the area righr now ,so if it can sucessfully survive this cold front passage we might be talking about TD 1.Most of other variables look good,a fair amount of upper divergence,plenty of upper and mid level spin,abundant moisture aloft,warm SST'S around 28 degrees celcius and pretty good deep convection.I would say it has 50 to 50 chance of developing.

As long as the temps stay warm and the shear is low this is an area to watch.

Let's get realistic though... even if it DID form to a TD.. or even a TS.. the water/shear/etc isn't right to sustain hurricane strength, or is it? :eek:

I think it is too early and too unfavorable for a hurricane right now. This will be a different story in a month or two however...

No. If it developed, it would get to weak TS strength at most.

First, no one is expecting a hurricane from this.

Second, if conditions were to be favorable if the storm developed, then the waters would sustain a hurricane.

The sst's could hold a major in the caribbean right now. But this has about as much chance of developing as a monkey loging in on storm2k on my computer.

After all, tropical cyclones are a natural proof that organized things come from messes.
