Almost appears to have a sheared mid to upper level circulation.
Surface circ. is near 30N/ 76W and mid level circ center appears to be near 30N/ 73W or about 150 miles to the east of the surface center.

The red area on the JSL enhancement is normally associated with deeper convection.. and I've found that the 'red' indicates the most likely area for lightning in tropical systems.
