West Carib Setup Looking a Lot Better

Trop wave getting closer.
Boundary-layer theta-e air continues to concentrate here.
Convection has fired all night with tops over 55k-ft. at times.
This has heated the mid- and upper-troposphere and altered the UL winds.
WV shows good UL outflow in all radial directions indicating the UL winds have dissipated. This is ideal for development.
UL-divergence bull's-eye directly over the convection.
This may no longer be an MCS.
VIS imagery today will tell us a lot.
TUTT's farther north are ideally positioned to create a poleward outflow channel once a TC develops.
May not be long now.
