Looking at the lastest infrared, the wind shear is is meeting up with Ingrid. It looks like a batch of convection is trying to move to the SW. Don't know if this is the LLC, but it looks like it is trying to slide underneath.

Ingrid is going to struggle or try to survive for the next many days as it moves NW...
Area over the western carribean is still my area of focus for the beginning of next week. With high pressure over the NE U.S. and NW Atlantic pressures in the carribean should be droping. Where and if it develops is uncertain....but its probably the better of the 2 watched areas since we have along time if any with Ingrid.

I am seeing a definte wnw bias to Ingrid where the 24h ofcl track won't even verify. If the mid level structure of the storm is sheared away whats left to steer? The LLC may just slide under the shear level along with the westerlies. There jumping up and down over at the office - for once in the last 5 years they might have got it right.

That is strange,I am going to assume that that is not a true "eye".Maybe one of the Mets can chime in and explain what this is.

Boy that IS freaky looking! Maybe it's just a coincidental break in the clouds that looks like an "eye?" It doesn't really look like there's rotation there??

I wouldn't say it has an 'eye'. It appears to be an upper level low and has a definite circulation, so I guess you could say its LLC appears a bit like the center of a tropical system. I saw this feature start to pick up convection last night, but there is no mention of it in discussions here or in Miami. So it must just be a ULL.

I think you're right, but it IS odd. The "eye" wasn't visible long. Here's a screen capture for posterity. The Puerto Rico view is a good one to watch this thunderstorm complex in for now.

hmm.. a few thunderstorms blew up east of the bahamas. that's all it is right now. if it keeps persisting, though... could cause some trouble. that's a synoptically favored place. really everything from that region southward to panama will be looking good for trouble to start over the next few days (upper trough has to clear the middle of the caribbean for further south, though). keep looking for something over in this general area... or somethings.
most of the models have a big enough weakness punched in the ridge where ingrid's decaying swirl is headed that almost none push it westward, now. this time of year a system getting into that general area can 'go kyle' on ya.. the weak, little movement shown for whatever makes it past the shear, if anything, could be the start of one of those events.
wave behind ingrid is fairly well organized, and has a fairly good bulge on the . the northeastern portion of this thing is already getting some shear, but the part to the south is scraping along under it. possible spot to watch for slow development.

Timing is the key to if Ingrid threatens the USA whether it be TD or TS.. IF the storm in the Craribean developes and hit's Florida, Ingrid will stall as it can't head east or west with high to the east and low to the west. If the storm does not form OR if it heads west, Ingrid heads west to the USA. Shear will continue to rip Ingrid for 2 days, Monday, a new day has begun and shear will only be at 15 knots. Models like , HRMF, and UKMET point out that it could make a comeback that day. I agree, this year, all the storms have surprised us.. Ingrid can't move north of Bermuda do to a strong ridge, it could move east then west and sort of loop around till the high weakens, basically what the points out. I expected this to be a TD at 11 a.m., didn't think it would hold it's status this far out in 30-35 knots of shear, yet we should remember Barry. All of the east Coast should watch Ingrid, but not worry. Ingrid is a tough little gal, if Irene (2005) survived the devestating shear, so can Ingrid!
