North of Antigua

A new tropical wave is firing a burst of convection north of Antigua. The wave is under light southerly wind shear and has very little movement - perhaps a slow westerly drift. Elsewhere the Atlantic Basin is tranquil.

Added: Not really a tropical wave after all - its a developing upper level low with a difluent zone that is enhancing convection over the Islands. However, enhanced convection north of Panama is associated with a tropical wave.
