I guess nobody else finds this area suspicious. It is hanging around pretty good today. Longer than it did yesterday.

I think we need to watch this as climalogy and the synoptic pattern we are in says so.

Sure does appear suspicious, the Nogaps seemed to bring a low out from where the convection is located. Either were waisting our time or we'll have bragging rights when this develops. IMO, it will make it to an invest. Time will tell.

No LLC, but watching for persistance now.

Could be a shear feature. But climatology says watch it.

I think people have given up on th season, that's why there are few posts. Maybe the NHC will make this a special feature in their discussion. This area of convection has been persistent.

Now through October are prime months for hits coming up from the Caribbean especially for South Florida but people don't understand that.

Oh ... I'm definitely keeping an eye on it. The Nogaps scenario isn't at all unreasonable.

Look what nogaps has at 132 hours. Not very intense yet but somewhat concerning for Florida:

If that area can remain convective over the next 24-48 hours, I think it may have a shot. With an old frontal boundary to the north and a Tropical wave nearing the area, we may see more convection and more of a chance for development. With the ridge shifted Eastward in response to the trough it would have nowhere to go but, north.

Of course this is pending that this sytem can develop and there isn't too much shear for it to do so.

I would say at least a brief mention in the 5:30 TWO and if it persists more concentration on it at the 11:30

Shouldn't that high prog to be on the north drive whatever forms to the west into Mexico, or even,gulp,Texas?

I see from the member list there is a bit more interest as of late as we all hope that whatever is trying to get going in the Western Caribbean goes poof because it will more than likely head North or Northwest.

NHC is not very concerned it would appear. There is always tomorrow.

The posts or stuff said are NOT an official forecast and my opinion alone. Please look to the NHC and NWS for official forecasts and products.

Opinions my own.

if it persists over the next 6 hours and especially overnight - the NHC's tune will be different.
