Strong ascent from high CAPE air and shear should keep convection firing.

This should support continuous latent heating of the upper troposphere which will, down the road, aid in lifting the tropopause.

That in turn should allow an anticyclone to form in a few days over the water and convection.

Bottom line effect will be a drop in shear toward the end of the week as shown in the 108hr GFS shear forecast,

In-coming trop waves, during this period, could aid in boundary layer convergence into this area and IMHO there is a good chance a weak tropical surface low could spin up.
