Just noticed that NRL has put a tropical cyclone formation alert on this system. Also, the Tropical Weather Outlook says that:-

UPPER-LEVEL WINDS HAVE BECOME A LITTLE MORE
FAVORABLE AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM DURING THE NEXT DAY
OR SO AS THE DISTURBANCE MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 5 TO 10 MPH.

Maybe it will develop into Blas. We''ll see...

P.S. - Phil, thanks for offering to keep us up to date with Joe B.'s forecasts. Much appreciated.
