very tempting mcc has been noted several times today in the western gulf. not only that, it drifted offshore, has enough mid-level torque to catch the eye, and some the fanning from thunderstorm outflow.. that it has the appearance of an idling tropical cyclone. i suppose if its there tomorrow it will need lots of attention, but as of now it's just eye candy.
combination of a bit too much shear and a bit too strong low-level easterlies keeping all that mess in the w. caribbean from doing anything. that log-jam look it has means that it would otherwise be trying to do something.. since modeling suggests things will be getting gradually better down there over time, the area in general has a little bit of potential a few days ahead.. nothing for now.
outside of that, central atlantic longwave trough is letting some mid-latitude weather get down there.. anything that cuts off when the pattern progresses (nothing very signifcant on the globals as of yet) might be worth watching.
but of course, today is june 9th. it's early for much to happen.
