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.
