Our little central Atlantic wave is spouting convection like a choo choo train in shear.


Should get pushed into recurve up that trough border ahead.

What ever happened to Erika's remnants? I've kind of lost track of them.

:uarrow: Completely missed that obvious LLC. :D Getting sheard to death but keeps pulsing convection. Why wouldn't the TPC place a low over that area when there is a well defined LLC?

I think they've given up on anything forming in that area and I'm not going to argue. :lol:

Looks like it's on a secret stealth mission to become a TC off the coast of N.C. j/j kinda.
It does look like it has grown in size a wee bit.

North of Antilles is notoriously unsupportive this year.

Create a loop of the area in question and you will see that this system is very well-defined. It just needs shear to relax and boom, we will get something to track.

Elsewhere in the tropics

Early next week, we should be alert for tropical storm development over the waters between the Bahamas and North Carolina, along an old frontal zone. None of the reliable models are forecasting tropical storm development in this area or in the Gulf of Mexico, though.
