Agreed..
its has a closed wind field .. the northerly components to the wind are way far west of the large convective blob probably near that leading area of convection about 55 to 56 west, since the circulation is so broad.

Well, this really does have the "look"
Fortrunately or unfortunately, depending on your point of view, looks don't make it happen. "Can't always judge a book by its' cover."

Rising in the short term but it dropped nearly 3.0 mb since yesterday

True,but the Sat. presentation often indicates devolepment, good chance 75 percent or more this will be at tropical cyclone soon.

Re: ATL : INVEST 94L
the small upper high over the past 6 to 10 hours has been moving with the deep area of convection but the system seems to be moving ever so slight faster than the upper low/shear axis. if it were to slow down than they may move more in tandem and would allow less shear. But that does not appear to happening as of yet.

Re: ATL : INVEST 94L
would have to say that a west motion will be likely today as the ridge to north seems to have strengthened a little today.
so islands will probably end up with a TD or weak depression tomorrow.
also will be passing through the Herbert Box.

Yes, the storm relative shear is low over the main convection, which I think has taken over as the vort center. The westward vort is weakening. I agree that the faster it moves in the short term there is no chance of development. If it slows relative the ULL induced shear, it may have a shot at development.

Re: ATL : INVEST 94L - Computer Models
Gfdl loses the vortex right away , but if you follow the low pressure on the run it takes just north of cuba , dunno if that means anything.

Yeah Aric you can see the shear pushing on the western side of the system already, the Upper level high is starting to fall behind the system which is probably why many models aren't really doing much with this one. As has been mentioned this needs to slow down a little further if its not to face 30-40kts of shear soon...and probably be blown apart.

According to the satellite derived wind barbs, it's still just a wave:

Re: ATL : INVEST 94L
Sure looks better than TS Danny ever was, based on satelite presentation it is close to being a TD, but of course a closed LLC will have to be verified before they upgrade., IMO think they'll upgrade at 5p or 11p today.
