The one located around 37W, 10N today. If it holds its current strength and makes it into the Caribbean, it may have a chance to develop into something. It certainly looks like the shear that was over the Caribbean basin has relaxed substantially over the past few days (based entirely on sat loops).

Tropical wave continues to hold good low-level structure, but it does not have any significant convective development. A weak circulation center is evident at 12.6N 47W at 18/15Z moving to the west at 15 knots. Wind shear has not relaxed in this area and is not expected to for the next few days. SST is marginal at 27C, so really a low probability for any additional development.

The shear is more evident on the sat loops today since there is a little more cirrus in the area to see. There is a significant convective flair up southeast of the primary vortex today, but that seems to be tracking along the broader circulation pattern. Still, this is a rather impressive wave for mid-June in this area.

Looking at the latest WV loop I dont think this wave has much of a chance of developing either. Shear seems to be tearing it apart. Although I will agree that these waves coming off Africa seem to be holding together a lot better than the normal for this time of year. Strange season already, I dont remember the last time I saw a cold front advancing into central Florida in mid June either.

June often has weak frontal boundaries. The temperature isn't changing from the frontal boundary as much as the rain. And, often a frontal boundary in June spawns a weak sub-tropical or tropical storm after it stalls out and remains in the area. Not all that uncommon. A wave this strong and somewhat organized this early in June is more uncommon I believe.

It seems on the latest satellite picture the center of circulation is advancing out infront of the wave and is moving a little North of West. If it can continue to wander in this direction it could get north of most of the Westerly wind shear. It might have a chance. It has survived this long, we'll see. It does have cooler water to contend with. I'm giving it a 6 on the hypemeter.

It still bears watching, but there is a heap of shear over it and just to its west this morning. The shear looks to be a lot less in the eastern Caribbean. We'll see what happens and how much definition is left once it passes the windward islands.
