Well RECON are now entering the Caribbean disturbance with the latest HDOB showing them dropping altitude as they penetrate the system. Will be interesting to see what they find. Satellite imagery indicates that the whole system is consolidating further north than it had been tracking, and now poses more of a threat to the northwestern Caribbean. As for 96L, that one too has developed markedly this morning. I think that the system could very well get classified without recon as its proximity to land means it can be more easily monitored with radar and the like. This disturbance is somewhat lopsided, with the convection on the east of the circulation - due in part to land interaction and dry air entrainment on the west.
