Very tight cyclonic flow in a thunderstorm's updraft.
Think of it like a corkscrew pattern.
Helicity is usually highest at the surface.
Theory is the tower's helicity transfer's mid-level vorticity to the surface.

Very interesting details in this paper:

Where might the LLC be located? Could it be forming underneath any of that convection or is it racing out to the west? There seems to be some southerly inflow into the western side of the blob:

Shear is really tearing this apart.

2pm position was 22N/64W... The low level clouds racing to the WNW and the convection seems stationary... Almost think the center could relocate back farther E near 63.5N/22N...

The burn off of this morning's cirrus is showing this being relatively compact.

yeah, again if anything were to it would wherever the wind shift is in the wave axis. and as of right now looking at the inflow its back where the new convection is firing.. so we will have to wait and see.

another swirl/vort has shot out to the west.. means there is enough vorticity back in the convection to be producing and llc..

If this "blob" could get further west under the Anticyclone it would stand a much better chance

Also interesting when viewing the MIMIC-TPW how the axis has gone from a positive to a negative tilt.

Not much going on this afternoon. Convection has diminished - lots of outflow boundaries moving off to the north from the collapsed convection. About the weakest and most disorganized circulation possible. It could be reclassified as a TD at some point before it reaches the Gulf coast, but it may never be much better organized than it is now.

Yeah, not sure this will amount to anything until after Florida.

Isn't the convection now decoupled from the low level features?

Outflow boundaries spitting out near the 2pm 22N/64W, so it seems the only near term chance is for a LLC to develop back under the convection near 22N/63W. JMHO...

from the looks of it. the convection is producing multiple swirls/vorts. mostly because the wave axis is so elongated.

Seems like the LLC is detached from the MLC underneath the convection.

I agree. Give it another day or so and the shear will drop off significantly once the system approaches the Bahamas.

Afternoon convection firing over Hispaniola. Air is juiced.
System will be running into that tonight.

GFS Sounding just north of the coast has 2900 CAPE with better looking midlayer RH.
Shear zero to 450mb.

Look closely at this loop and speed it up - just east of the towers (23N/63W) or there about clearly see rotation http://rammb-slider.cira.colostate.edu/ ... mmb-slider
