Development in the Carib may not occur for a couple more days as shear drops then and the new wave moves in from the east.

CARIBBEAN SEA...
A TROPICAL WAVE IS OVER THE FAR NW CARIBBEAN...SEE ABOVE. THE
SURFACE LOW IN THE SW CARIBBEAN IS NOW A SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING
FROM 17N74W TO OFF THE COLOMBIA/PANAMA COAST NEAR 9N77W.
HOWEVER...THE ACTIVITY IN THE CARIBBEAN IS DUE TO UPPER LEVEL
FEATURES. AN UPPER LOW IS ALONG THE N COAST OF CUBA EXTENDING AN
UPPER TROUGH OVER THE NW CARIBBEAN TO HONDURAS. A BROAD UPPER RIDGE
DOMINATES THE REMAINDER OF THE CARIBBEAN PROVIDING DIFFLUENCE ALOFT
TO GENERATE SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS FROM 11N-17N BETWEEN
71W-78W WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS N OF 18N
ACROSS HAITI AND FAR E CUBA BETWEEN 71W-76W AND S OF 12N BETWEEN
76W-82W. THE TROPICAL WAVE WILL EXIT THE CARIBBEAN LATER TODAY WHILE
A SECOND WAVE WILL MOVE INTO THE E CARIBBEAN ON SAT.
