Tropical wave is along 71w S of 21n moving W 15-20 kt. Wave
signature is obscured by high clouds that cover much of the
Caribbean...however GFS model guidance suggests slight low-level
cyclonic turning which is aiding in producing scattered
showers/isolated thunderstorms across Puerto Rico and
Hispaniola.

...but I think ridging over GOM is going to totally block any movement in this direction.
Sure looks like an active start coming 6/1!
