Extremely Intense Convection:
pushing NE but the core is trying to build
SW:
If this moves SW then there could be big trouble!

I wonder why the NHC is so strong against tropical cyclone formation in this area. Usually, they hedge and say something to the extent of "any development will be slow to occur" but here, its more or less "We're not expecting anything to happen."

I think its because its along a trough axis, if it was by itself it would be a different story.

You are probably right, but dont a lot of October Storms in the Caribbean develop off trough axes that sit in the Caribbean for a while?

I wonder why the 11:30am tropical udate didn't mention the area down by the windwards.

The massive convective areas south
of Cuba have their cloud tops
being pushed northeast
but are actually almost
stationary and may be building
south.
I am concerned that this may not get
pulled off to the NE as it is currently predicted
to be by the globals...if it keeps developing
further south.
Not a forecast just a concern.

Cycloneye it definately has some sort
of curvature in the convection and the convection
has been looking strong this morning. In fact there
is an area of Grey (extremely intense convection)
on one side of it.

I still don't get why the NHC is ignoring the area by the windwards. It is a tropical wave.
