I know everyone is focused on the system at 41W but I've noticed this system north of the islands deserves some attention since convection has increased since yesterday and is closer to the US.

It has that "sticking in one place" look that forming systems have sometimes. Hard to say.

Looks like the shear around this wave should help it develop once it gets a LLC.

This kind of reminds me of a hurricane it started with a H a few years back. Which moved northward. Started out as a blob north of the islands.

I would like to point out that this convection associated with this ULL/tropical wave has been fairly consistant. The ULL is expected to weaken.

Look at CIMSS it appears as though it will be moving into and area with decreasing shear and currently over it is upper level divergence as well as vorticity in 850mb region. I think this is something that we'll have to watch in the next couple of days as this area of convection moves into the bahamas.

Very nice convection/flaring up occuring there right now. With upper level lows the key at getting the pressure lowered at the surface is persistant convection and that does seem to be occuring.

Although I still believe the chances of development will be fairly low, this system may likely become nearly stationary, starting over the next 24 hours, as it begins to interact with the slow-moving old trough still moving off Florida and off the eastern U.S. coastline. As it does so, it may reform a new possible low center near the Bahamas, remaining under a weak steering environment as the trough slowly pulls out.

NAM is showing some possible warm core development on the 11th int he northern bahamas.

Yes, the consistency has definitely got my attention. Looks better tonight -- as does 96L.

Orange area on that map pushing SEward thru North Carolina is that High pressure building?

Trough over the east coast...With a Anticyclone over Texas, in then another Trough with a short wave near 100 west/40 north. While another Anticyclone is over the rockies.

Actually the Bermuda High is expected to build westward into the southeast US.
