My .02C worth are that looking at the entire broad scale water vapor of the tropics (and sub-tropics), its pretty apparent that the there is quite a strong and progressive east to west flow over all. The large cold low centered near S. Florida is clearly moving WNW and warming. I do not see that large cut-off low directly north and trying to shred 92L dropping any further south and perhaps 92L will move west at a pace that will distance itself from it. As for the second cut-off low dropping south, I believe that it will progress a little further south, and then be forced southwest, then west (or WNW) over the next 3 or so days). None of all this to suggest that I'd bet big money that 92L will likely survive and eventually become strong. I see dry air as the biggest inhibiting factor that it'll soon encounter and that, along with what northerly shear that will exist to probably put a real hurting on the system this evening, tomorrow, and perhaps into Sunday. Much does depend on how much can maintain itself approaching the Bahamas over the weekend. It's logical to suggest that this will weaken in the near term but I just wouldn't go so far to suggest that this Invest is history and not to keep an eye on it. If there's any way that this system remains as convective as it presently is by this time tomorrow, I'd be putting in a phone call to the squadron and make sure there's a plane getting gassed up to check it out.
