Hopefully IF something forms it will form north of the islands and recurve (and spare the islands)...I don't like the looks of this thing :eek:

That's a circulation, cycloneye. It persisted for over an hour.

Looks like it has a more circular appearance to it IMO. Should have a invest on this soon. Let's see if it persists overnight.

Chance of Development:
1. It has a well defined broad circulation
2. It is over high heat content waters
3. Shear is low around it and out ahead of it
4. There is a lot of moisture

The circulation is vigorous. Development looking
possible at this point.

With shear and dry air not being a significant problem things could get very interesting the next couple of days.

NOTE-Very warm SST'S down there.

I kind of hope this does not form. I will be in Arizona Sunday through next Thursday and really do not want anything to threaten my neck of the woods while I am gone and not here to prepare for it.

I should head west for a while but last time i checked there is another trof of low pressure that is set to move into the southeast sometime this weekend.

The west wind doesn't mean anything. It would only be significant if there were any reason to believe a LLC was located due north or east of those islands. Obviously if there were any surface circulation with this wave it would be farther west or north than Martinique or Dominica. Vvisible doesn't show much yet either....other than the outflow boundaries passing through the island chain.

Cliffs: No surface circulation yet.

I don't know if this wave has a chance with all the dry air ahead of it!


BUT...if it does, it is forming very near the dreaded Herbert Box.

All the guidance has most energy ending up north of Hispaniola, fwiw.

At this point, I do believe this can and will develop, but I haven't done any research yet. I will look at it after dinner in more detail.
