east at the NW carribean buoy!! hmmm.,..... weak circulation i would say
http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/MHRO.html
but is it at the surface? I think this system could possibly catch some others off guard due to the interest in 90L.
umm i would say so. since the observations are from the surface at the buoy and the island of rotan off the coast of honduras

Those who said it wouldn't form Aric.
If this does form I wonder what it will do to the Atlantic storm?

oh ok .. lol
that is a really good question.. to early to tell way way to far out but should have some sort of effect on the ridge

Concur. Aric and I saw that but were waiting on it.
Think we have a spinner there. I see "S" curvature at the surface and in the convection band over Yucatan.
Good eye!

I still like just south of Jamaica. Seems like a broad turning going on there, and it does not appear to be in a hurry to go anywhere.

Re: Caribbean Development?:Thread 2
I think this system is becoming more noteworthy, and I think it deserves more attention in the next TWO. The weak upper low is moving westward toward the Florida Keys, and it has enhanced strong upper divergence over the central Caribbean Sea. Evidently, there is a persistent weak sfc trough in the vicinity of Jamaica and the central Caribbean basin. Mid-level shear should slowly diminish over the next 48 hours, and all the essential ingredients for slow development should arise over this area. We have good sfc convergence; heat content is extremely warm; and low-level to mid-level vorticity could become established as a small jet streak enhances diurnal maximum convection.
Additionally, you can clearly see an area of consolidating convection (near 16N and 79W). Look at the current GOES visible loop. In my opinion, that area should be closely monitored. There is decent low-level convergence, and the diurnal maximum is arriving over the western Atlantic basin. This factor could really enhance noctural convective activity within the next 24 to 36 hours, especially because of the increasingly favorable factors and upper-air setup. I think we could witness the early stages of a sfc low formation, which could ignite the trigger for slow cyclogenesis. I think the upper-air pattern indicates the Atlantic basin will heat up within the next few weeks. We are not turning back - this is the real deal, IMO.
We have two potential systems. 90L has a fair shot at development over the long term (likely sooner than we think), and I think concern should grow over this system's prospects. It is getting closer to an INVEST designation, IMO. I think Aric may have been on the money with this one...

agreed .. the low near or east of belize should stay fairly motionless while the broader turning in the Sw carrib lifts north I would say by tomorrow afternoon we will be getting closer to a well defined surface low its funny the CMC called for a similar situation with to lows forming(they are weak now i guess more just turning) but if you recall the fujiwara that the cmc was doing its very similar to what happening right now with the two weak areas of low pressure one is shooting north while other moving slowing wnw. I think both areas will come together (as i have been saying) tomorrow for its best chance of some development there after. quick note .. there is a lot i mean a lot going on in the western carrib i would be very surprised if nothing formed eventually.

Black ir! But still too busy for anything to form as an obvious center.

Re: Caribbean Development?:Thread 2
I see a weak anticyclone building over the area - this trend would generally support my original hypothesis. Here is the main area that should receive attention. Note the sufficient low-level inflow and upper-level diffluence on the northern, eastern, and southern sides. I see some good vorticity in the area per latest obs and maps. Shear should gradually decrease as the low to mid-level anticyclone builds over the system.

yeah that close enough .. i would still say a little more nw .. but yeah the low coming from the south should be in the area later tonight and swing more NW tomorrow and the wave from the east should also be converging roughly in that area
