What would have to happen over time for the system over the Bahamas to transform into a tropical storm? I understand that there is shearing wind, and that the spin is in the upper levels of the atmosphere. However, the convection has been hanging in there and I did watch the spin moving up to the convection that was already in place. Finally how are the pressures in that area compared to the air pressures over Florida at this time. I noticed the NWS frontal lines but they do not extend to the Bahamas.
