Great job as always Luis..If this is still an area of interest later I would suggest to give it its own thread..it deserves that much! lol..but I wouldnt be surprised to see the NHC to tag it as 91L..they tend to do that early on to run some models and get some practice. They did that a lot last year...

I think this area may warrant a new thread also, but it depends on how well it holds up over the next 24 hours or so and whether it becomes an invest or not.

Surely,if any wave looks like a candidate to be a invest,it deserves a individual thread of its own.

It looks like 2/3 of the wave will slam into NE South America.Maybe the 1/3 left will become an invest.

This really doesn't have a chance to develop. Either it will run into South America or into a wall of shear in the Carb.

Good to see ya back Dean...I agree this wont do anything in the next couple of days..im looking at when the wave axis gets in the West Caribbean where it is still unsettled..might just spark something and try to get something spun up...

It won't do anything now for sure, but if it makes it into the Western Caribbean you just never know. This is that time of year.

Yeah as has been said there has been fairly high shear in the eastern Caribbean for a little while now and if that pattern remains its going to be smashed by the shear. However the wave axis will remain and if it can reach the western Caribbean and slow down then that region is the prime spot for June development. Right now I don't feel its worth an invest but it does deserved to be watched.

I really think the NHC is practicing their new maps by saying this region has a chance albeit low of development (with the yellow shading on their maps).

I give this area about a less than 1% chance of development from this wave. If it developed at all the Western Caribbean would be the place but even then I don't see development

Vorticity is just north of the coast. It was impressive on MIMIC-TPW as it crossed the Atlantic. I agree that it will definitely be worth watching as it gets into the west Caribbean.

Actually, I was just checking shear forecast on CMC and GFS. It is going to be high for the next 4 to 5 days over the entire Caribbean. IMHO, not much of a chance for this wave; but, it may be an indication of an early CV season.
