Alex, sometimes it does seem (or is ) that the left hand does not know what the right is saying!

Features of note:

Nice cyclonic curvature developing over Nicaragua. If it came N instead of west???

There is a system s of Bermuda, east of Fl---it is getting better developed; but, as you say, hard to tell if it is a surface feature--looks like it is.

Interesting upper low NE of PR, may be helping to ventilate feature noted s of Bermuda??

and our incipient TD or two, off Africa----it IS getting busier..
