Re: Area of disturbed weather in the SW Caribbean
Oh I agree..the start of the season is always slow until shear relaxes....NOGAPS finished up the 12zrun....buries it in CA but a piece of energy splits off and heads into SFL....seems plausible..all in all a big mess right now...

CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLC W OF 55W...
A SURFACE TROUGH WAS ANALYZED FROM THE COAST OF NICARAGUA NEAR
12N84W TO THE PANAMA CANAL ON THE 1200 UTC SURFACE MAP. THE 1442
ASCAT PASS SHOWED THE WIND SHIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH. IN
ADDITION...SOME SHIP OBSERVATIONS INDICATED NE TO E WINDS OF 15
TO 20 KT NORTH OF THE TROUGH OVER THE SW CARIBBEAN. WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO INCREASE TO 20 TO 25 KT TONIGHT OVER THE S-CENTRAL
CARIBBEAN AS PRES GRADIENT TIGHTENS BETWEEN HIGH PRES TO THE N
AND DEVELOPING LOW PRES OVER THE SW CARIBBEAN. AS A RESULT OF
THE STRONGER WINDS...SEAS WILL BUILD OVER THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN
TO 8 TO 10 FT BY TUE.
COMPUTER MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT OF BROAD LOW PRESSURE OVER THE SW CARIBBEAN

INITIALLY BE OVER THE SW CARIBBEAN NEAR SAN ANDRES AND IS THEN
FORECAST TO DEEPEN SLIGHTLY AS IT DRIFTS NWD INTO WEST CENTRAL

Re: Area of disturbed weather in the SW Caribbean
This is remarkably similar to the start of Arlene. Funny since this season we finally use those names again. Time will tell but with model support this season I can see this becoming something.

Good to see you back Rock! Where is our other partner in crime, Wxwarrior?

Yeah, this is the thread for the Caribbean system. Taking a look at the Canadian and Euro ensembles, a great deal of them like the solution of getting trapped under the ridge.
