This area has been producing weak to moderate convection for a few days now and I'm starting to see the slightest little curvature to storms this morning. Pressures are about normal but this a climatology favored area. so it may be something to watch over the next few days.

Re: Disturbed area near the Bahamas
I've been watching this area closely. In fact, the NAM pushes this area west into S.Fl/Gulf in about 3-4 days as ridging builds to the north..Climatology and recent satellite imagery certainly maintain we keep a watchul eye on this area.

Re: Disturbed area near the Bahamas
From NWS Mami this morning:
BOTH GFS/ECWMF ARE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH MOISTURE INCREASING ON
WED...SHOWING AN INVERTED TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE
AREA...ORIGINATING FROM CONVECTION NEAR THE TURKS AND CAICOS
ISLANDS. THE CONVECTION CURRENTLY IN THAT AREA LOOKS TO BE ALONG A
SHEAR AXIS. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF TSTORMS IN THAT AREA NOW...DECIDED
TO INCREASE POPS TO 50 ALL AREAS FOR WED. GFS SHOWS LIKELY POPS
EAST COAST WED...BUT WOULD LIKE TO WATCH THE PROGRESSION OF
CONVECTION TO OUR SE BEFORE JUMPING TOO HIGH ON POPS SINCE IT`S A
FEW DAYS OUT.

Looks like shear is pretty high throughout the entire region this convection is in. So therefore I doubt anything has a shot really...not unless it can find a pocket of lower shear.

Re: Disturbed area near the Bahamas
I see very broad weak turning in the area of 26N/70W. Lots of covection and maybe it gets a Code Yellow with a 0% chance of development at 2pm?? I love when the NHC gives a 0% chance of development, don't know why I just find that funny!

Re: Disturbed area near the Bahamas
As the ridge builds in the shear may decrease. Actually if this current convective cycle persists tonight they will probably declare an invest. They are only forecasting an inverted trough for south Florida? I did see some turning in the low resolution loop so I was thinking possible depression by Wednesday.

we need a pro met to chime in on this area.
This is a favored area for development.

Shear still looks a good deal too high throughout the region, if anything the Atlantic has seen a decent increase in shear over the last 2 weeks..

Re: Disturbed area near the Bahamas
Doesn't look too bad right over the disturbance
Vorticity up a little also.
Not really supposed to do much for the next couple days and it is the NAM, so we shall see.

Re: Disturbed area near the Bahamas
A lot less intensity on this run but it looks like it could be bring more rain to an area that doesn't really need it.
Hardly any convection right now but I think it showing some small signs of organization. still a couple days away.

Re: Disturbed area in southern gulf
Well the good ole NAM is still trying to develop this area that has moved westward from near the Bahama's. But in it's defense, it never really develop it until Friday and now Sat. watch out Houston.

Re: Disturbed area near the Bahamas
Could I get one of the Mods to change the Title to GOM instead area near the Bahama's. It looks like it is starting to flare up this morning maybe something to watch a little closer?

I changed the title, but it's just an upper-level low. A wave passing to the south is enhancing convection today, but development chances are minimal.

Re: Disturbed area near the Bahamas
Are we talking about this blob just SE of FL:
It does look interesting in this WV loop:

just an upper-level low
Been watching this guy near SFL for a couple days. Brought moisture up and decent rain yesterday - last night we had some epic t-storms. Nice little blob out there SE of Key Largo. Expecting a great and awesome day of tropical showers all afternoon.

Re: Disturbed Area Entering Southeastern Gulf of Mexico
What I'm looking at is more central gulf(25,90ish). Not the ULL. On the first few visibles you can see some lower level broad rotation in this area. Convections starts building we could have a problem.

Radar shows alot of rain heading towards S.Florida with this wave, decent convection aloft but I'd suspect there will be no development with this one...
Still need to watch because there is a lot of rain heading into Florida today.
