Anti-cyclone shifting around

The broad convection is shifting around the anti-cyclone.
One thing of note is that a cooler UL atmosphere also has the ability to fire much deeper convection.
In fact, I have seen massive hot-towers fire in the Carib in December.
SST is very warm which creates a large vertical temperture gradient and makes parcel bouyancy very large.
