Tropical wave with a convective flare-up near 17.8N 63.1W at 07/04Z is moving to the west northwest at about 10mph. Wave is bringing scattered heavy rainshowers to the Leeward Islands. Motion should become more northwesterly as the wave comes under the influence of a large upper level low to its northwest. I haven't really looked at the environment, but I would suspect only a slim chance for additional development.
Cheers,
ED

Tropical wave relocated near 20N 70W at 07/15Z continues to remain active while moving west northwest at 20mph. Wave structure has improved overnight. Motion should continue toward the west northwest to northwest. Strong upper low near 22N 55W is digging southwestward while upper low to the northwest of the wave is weakening and moving off to the northwest. This system is slowly becoming something to keep a casual eye on if the upper low to the northwest continues to retreat. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
Cheers,
ED

If it keeps moving WNW or NW its gonna run into shear. The convection has stepped up a notch today tho. It's a watcher.

Well I saw it this morning...I think the convective flareup is more due to upper level winds at that location, there doesn't seem to be any vorticity, so not a good candidate for development?

Re: North Coast of Dominican Republic

this thing... i called it a no-go earlier, and that's still the most likely result. the u/a low that chopped chris up is the culprit, only this time the low is elongating and pulling westward ahead of a wave, enhancing it by divergence aloft. low level winds are really cranking and the ridge to the north is strong, so there's nothing for the convection to 'hang up' on, should just keep plowing westward and never develop any vertical structure.
last year, time and again.. this was the mechanism that created the hurricane blitzkrieg.
