Wow, it looks good. I'll take note of this- development in the Caribbean or GOM could be possible.

It certainly looks suspicious. A shower accompanied by some pretty strong ENE wind gusts hit here about 20 minutes ago.

Upper level flow is decent--shows the stark contrast in shear vs last year.

It's quite a southernly wave isn't it? Appears to be headed somewhere between Trinidad and Martinique.

Just a clarification the wave will be passing any where between Trinidad and Tobago Grenada and the Grenadines and South of Barbados .Martinique is way North of where the wave is presently.
