Sorry if this is off the topic of Dean which is obviously a very serious situation, but a new area of concern is rapidly developing northeast of the leewards. Looks like the CMC model was right in picking up a developing low, and now some of the other models are hinting at a closed low developing in the bahamas during the next few days. The blow-up of convection northeast of the leewards has been impressive this evening, and there appears to be a mid-level spin around 21N 55W.
Conditions will only get better for this to develop in the coming days while it moves W or WNW towards the Bahamas then possible towards the EC of FL. Think we will have a new invest tomorrow.
