Re: Tropics Slowly Stirring Once Again

Radar imagery out of PR would seem to indicate that there may be a circulation centre south of St Croix, moving slowly north or north-northwest.




Satellite imagery would seem to indicate that the circulation is still not very organized overall, though, with a lot of westerly or southwesterly shear. In fact, I'd say that the radar shows only a very broad circulation (not enough for NHC to pull the trigger, I don't believe). Recon will tell the tail this afternoon - I'd definately say it's organized enough to go ahead with the flight, even if its not yet a depression.
