Re: Central Caribbean system
The NW Caribbean does look interesting tonight. The Yucatan has a way of getting lower levels spinning at times IMO. Perhaps Ivanhater can edit his title. This disturbance was the 'stronger' of both systems on the Para GFS 850 Vorts a few days ago.

Yeah your right about that, seen it many times before the lower levels get tightened up by the Yucatan. I think whilst the odds are slim for this one, it has got great upper conditions and system has got going in less space before.

Re: Western Caribbean system
I think they're all too busy in the active storm section
Pressure dropped at the BOC buoy http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=42055
The convection is booming over the little spin!

This one is looking interesting. WEhilst convection isn't that impressive it has a large old circulation much like Alex and there is strong suggestings of a closed LLC underneath the convection in the central southern BoC.
The NHC will have to take this one seriously soon as its under good upper conditions...this part of the basin is well known for pumping out brief TS from such set-ups.

Re: BOC system
I was just coming to post to see if anyone was noticing what was going on down in the BOC. I think this has the best shot of becoming the next classified system....if it has enough time!

As it moves westward the topography of eastern Mexico will likely tighten the circulation a little more. I can't see how it wouldn't get a mention on the next TWO

Yeah the only problem is its a big old circulation, these tend to taken a few days typically to get going.
That being said it'll probably have a good 24-36hrs over water and thats enough time IMO to warrent serious attention in terms of development as conditions aloft are pretty good...

Re: BOC system
It could become a TD, but it would have to get organized in a real hurry, since it will go aground in about 24 hours...

I think this is a Mexico storm. Pressure dropped again at the BOC buoy and the winds are starting increase as well.

It has enough time IMO to get to 35-40kts, the only thing that would lead to me to question that is the fact the NHC aren't even paying attention to it and its a large system in terms of its circulation.

I'd personally jump right in with 30-40% with this given its got time still and good upper conditions.
