Re: Development in Central Caribbean Likely Today

I think its less proximity to land than the upper flow. The outflow at this point just isn't that impressive. Compare the outflow here to what Fay looked like over Florida. Gustav isn't having a problem firing off convection...its just not evacuating very well right now. That, however, is forecast to change in the next couple of days if it can get underneath an ULH . I found a picture of Fays outflow if you want a look.
