humm, that's not right.... We've got several reports of pressure falls from NOAA reporting sites, so I don't see what NHC is saying by no pressure falling.

Pressure falls at this time could be attributed to the normal daily cycle and not necessarily because of the disturbance.

Look at that graph and you will clearly see the cycle.

If you see that cycle disrupted, then it could be attributed to the disturbance or something else.

It looks like a nice precipitation event is setting up for southern FL. Latest Miami sounding indicates rising CAPE values (+2,000) and lifted index near -4. An upper-level jet streak + widespread conducive RH values is evident on satellite imagery (click here). Some heavy thunderstorms have been developing over Broward and Palm Beach counties per Miami radar, while the Keys should receive heavy rainfall (watch out, weatherwindow in Cayo Hueso). Portions of Palm Beach County have received one-hour totals (estimated in radar) in excess of +2.00 inches! Instability is decent, too.

This is definitely related to the interaction between the Gulf upper low and this Caribbean mess.

Looks like shear will be really high in this area, if it actually forms I wouldn't expect more than a sheared TS.

What is the likely hood of the LLC in the middle of the gulf sucking up moisture from the trough and forming something?

I heard on the local news, it could develop into a tropical system. Bears watching.

Not sure about the LLC, but the local met said there was a lot of warm, undisturbed water in the middle of the gulf that was good for strengthening. Called it some kind of "warm trough" or something - sorry, wasn't listening closely.

Tim Heller of ABC 13 writes a blog about this tropical wave. He thinks possible it could become a hurricane by Sunday night.
