Moving 280 degrees west at 14kts,more faster than before.
LATCUR = 10.6N LONCUR = 32.0W DIRCUR = 280DEG SPDCUR = 14KT

Yes, It is finally moving which is good because it was like stuck in the mud the last few days. I think the islands need to keep an eye on this. It may have a chance at reaching TS strength in the next few days. The UKmet which is very conservative is still bullish on this.

Vorticity is much improved. Especially at the 500 level.

Looks like #3 since the poll (Uses up all of my predicted 3 remaining storms). Now I'm in trouble because there will probably be another late Caribbean system.

...SPECIAL FEATURES...
A 1009 MB LOW PRESSURE CENTER IS NEAR 11N29W. CONVECTIVE
PRECIPITATION...NUMEROUS STRONG FROM 11N TO 13N BETWEEN 29W AND
34W. ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED MODERATE ELSEWHERE FROM 5N TO
14N BETWEEN 28W AND 38W. THE OVERALL ORGANIZATION OF THE SYSTEM
HAS NOT IMPROVED...EVEN THOUGH ASSOCIATED SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS INCREASED SOMEWHAT DURING THE PAST FEW
HOURS. SOME DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE DURING THE
NEXT DAY OR TWO BEFORE UPPER LEVEL WINDS BECOME LESS CONDUCIVE.
THIS SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE
DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. THE LOW CENTER IS FORECAST TO MOVE
WESTWARD TO WEST-NORTHWESTWARD ABOUT 10 KNOTS.

2 PM TWO stay with the same %.
CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
IN THE FAR EASTERN ATLANTIC...LOCATED SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES
SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS...CONTINUE TO SHOW SIGNS OF
ORGANIZATION. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A TROPICAL DEPRESSION TO
FORM TONIGHT OR FRIDAY BEFORE UNFAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL LEVEL WINDS
BECOME ESTABLISHED NEAR THE DISTURBANCE. THIS SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM
CHANCE...50 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS...AND A MEDIUM CHANCE...50 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A
TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 5 DAYS WHILE IT MOVES WESTWARD TO
WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT AROUND 10 MPH.

I'm pretty much done with this system as its still quite elongated and is now running into southwesterly shear.

I remain unimpressed. Probably won't develop. May cause a few showers across NE Caribbean in a week.

Exactly. Has happened with nearly all invests in this area in 2013. There would be hype that it would develop into something relatively strong, yet all it becomes is a sheared and/or dried out weak TS, or more commonly, never develops in the first place and dies as an invest. There has only been one Cape-Verde hurricane this year, but many phantom hurricanes in the tropical Atlantic. And I don't see that amount of real hurricanes in that region changing anytime soon, if at all. Everything this year has been overly hostile from day one.

What is worsening the letdown when things don't develop, I think, is the utter failure the models have become (especially the GFS) after the "upgrade."
