A Tale of Two Caribbean Waves

One at 72W and the other at 62W.
Both firing convection intermittantly north of 10N.
The 72W wave looks more interesting today. Anti-cyclone overhead. Convection is bursting in a low-shear environment. Latest burst is high rain-rate approaching hot-tower levels.
62W is still in a high shear environment. So, convection is MCS topping about 55K-ft.
850mb vorticity seems to show the LLC's of both trying to combine.
