Re: Broad area of disturbed weather in the southwestern Caribbean Sea
Question for the mods. We have two vortices down in the Caribbean currently, with the easternmost vort (West-Central Caribbean) looking to be the strongest currently.
It is no longer about potential development just in the SW Caribbean.
Should we change the title of the thread?

Re: Broad area of disturbed weather in the southwestern Caribbean Sea
the MLC nothing near the surface it will take quite a bit of sustained convection to change the overall low level flow in its favor.
the low level turning/weak circ near San Andres island as been battling the afternoon sea breezes reversing the inflow from this morning which is very typical with a weak developing area. overnight we will likely see another large burst as usual and will slowly better define the circ. just have to keep waiting at least another 24 to 36hrs.

18z GFS finally closes this off heading to the Gulf now. Very different run this one will be strong. Watch out.

Re: Broad area of disturbed weather in the southwestern Caribbean Sea
If we were to all take an extended cat-nap and wake up on Friday; chances are that very little will have changed and that NHC will probably be discussing "some" area of disturbed weather within the Caribbean basin in their T.W.O with potential development set to 40/60.

While it's still mainly in the SW quadrant of the Caribbean, it has begun to creep northward some. I have no qualms in changing the title to "Western Caribbean".

Re: Broad area of disturbed weather in the Western Caribbean Sea
8 PM TWO:

A broad area of low pressure located over the southwestern Caribbean
Sea is producing numerous showers and thunderstorms extending from
Central America eastward through Hispaniola. There are no signs
of a surface circulation at this time, but conditions appear to be
favorable for some gradual development of this system late this week
and this weekend while the low drifts generally northward during the
next several days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.
