Notice a little spin just east of Cuba.
Here is the write up on it. Anything to watch for or is this what may increase our rain chances over the weekend.
A CARIBBEAN SEA TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 70W TO THE SOUTH OF 21N...
FROM JUST TO THE NORTH OF HISPANIOLA INTO NORTHWESTERN VENEZUELA.
THE WAVE IS MOVING THROUGH THE AREA OF A MIDDLE LEVEL TO UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH THAT IS CONNECTED TO A 21N72W CYCLONIC CIRCULATION
CENTER...THAT IS BETWEEN CUBA AND THE SOUTHEASTERN BAHAMAS.
SCATTERED MODERATE TO ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATIONIS IN VENEZUELA AND NEARBY WATERS AND THE NETHERLANDS ANTILLES
FROM 10N TO 12N BETWEEN 67W AND 69W. IT IS MOST LIKELY THAT
CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION THAT COVERS THE CARIBBEAN SEA AND
NEARBY ATLANTIC OCEAN FROM 13N TO 23N BETWEEN 63W AND
SOUTHEASTERN CUBA NEAR 76W IS RELATED MORE TO THE TROUGH OF
THE 21N72W CYCLONIC CENTER.
Heres a picture

The rotation in the central Caribbean area is from a TUTT LOW and the vorticity is at the 200 MB level with nothing at the 500 or 850 MB levels. The TUTT is creating upper level divergence which is sparking the convection along a tropical wave which is approaching the area. Not much chance of any development but the moisture is heading for Florida. _________________ LOU

The last several runs of the GFS spin up a Tropical Storm in the western Gulf. It appears to develop from a stalled trough of low pressure and some energy from former TD-7. It creeps north along the Mexican coastline to coastal Texas.
GFS at 144 Hours.
GFS at 183 Hours.

At 192 hours the GFS has the Gulf TC moving into Brownsville Texas and the Cape Verde TC turning northwest as it approaches 40W.
