The remnant low of former TD Josephine was located near 17N 42.5W at 07/16Z moving slowly westward at 7 knots with winds of 25mph gusting to 35mph and a pressure of 1007MB. With southerly shear, most of the convective bursts have been north of the low center. Windshear expected to diminish south of 20N and with SSTs of 29-30C, some gradual redevelopment is possible over the next few days. With a strong ridge of high pressure to the north, a west to west northwesterly movement is anticipated along with a slow increase in forward speed. It is worth noting that the NHC tropical model suite does bring Josephine back up to 60 knots near 21N 58W in five days.
A tropical wave is almost stationary southwest of Grenada near 12N 62W at 07/16Z. The wave is gradually developing convection and at 16Z the wind at Grenada was west southwest at 7 knots and the pressure was 1012MB. Just something else to keep an eye on. The next name on the list is Kyle.
A weak tropical low is located in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico near 21N 96.5W at 07/16Z. The system is moving to the west and will soon be inland over Mexico.
