I see a center forming at 17n 56w and there has been an impressive burst of convection in this area. Perhaps we are witnessing yet another center reformation. Lets see, however, if this burst fizzles like all the previous ones. This is very similar to all those storms in 2005 that were just about written off only to organize in a flash and then the bottom drops out. Big difference is this year there is not quite the anomalies in the ocean warmth dept.




I would not say there is a BIG difference in the SSTs as compared to 2005.The SSTs get pretty warm as it moves west.This latest flare up should in the very least keep it alive for a while,but I still think we are a couple of days away from real organization.I am getting a little more concerned that this system is turning into a "fighter",I don't like those.
