Fear the Shear...

If your a tropical Cyclone of course..Looking at the Western atlantic loop this moring all I see is brutal conditions for any formation within thousands of miles of the Continental US looks impossible..

This being said it can change in a heart beat.

The shear that was seen on Friday in the Western Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf was very impressive (and unexpected)...

If I haven't learned anything else about weather over the past 28 years - it's never to say that anything is a sure thing...

A hunch tells me that the wave at 65-70 W, is going to interact with this area your bringing up. I wonder if we may see a decent amount of convection in the next day or so.
