| | seems like that area has some potential. The SE ridge will certainly make things favorable.

| | | So late in the season? Wouldn't shear make it pretty hard to develop? |

| | It looks like we have ST Invest: QUOTE Quote:

| Since there is really nothing to look at winterwise.
This might actualy have a chance to do something, as it moves westward (thanks to the same mid level ridge keeping the SE US warm) into the central or western Caribbean, better upper level conditions by then, its not just the CMC but the Euro has been off and on closing off a surface low in the Caribbean for the last couple of days. GFS and NOGAPS show a weak low moving westward into the Caribbean.

| | The NHC has this as an Invest, with one of the floaters eyeing it, as posted above already by one of our members. Here is the animation of that same image: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/flt/t1/loop-vis.html
Unfortunately, even though the storm looks interesting, I see no hints of an LLC attemtping to develop, at least at the moment, but if one does form, it will be intertesting (though unlikely at this point). Wind shear does not seem bad at all right now in that region, but I am concerned about water temperatures, as someone has pointed, as it has cooled down over the past month or so.
Overall, I doubt that this will turn anything of significance, such as a tropical depression, at most, but will be interesting to watch over the next few days to see what happens to it.

| | Lets get this right, SST are warm enough for Subtropical or tropical development, where this system is right now, which is in the low 80s.

| Yeah, duh, I realized that AFTER I made that post! In any case, I do not think it will really develop into anything of signifcance, and if it does, it would be a tropical depression at best.
