Another FLUFFY Attempts to Kick Start The Tropical Season

[Richard Halter]

nicely organizing wave just se of the Windward Islands appears to be showing some mid-level cyclonic rotation forming up. It's pretty far south, but looks to have a clear path to the Carib and needs to be watched.

UPDATE

Looks like FLUFFY is about to morph - conditions sure look favorable in the Carribean for this thing to turn into a strong storm.

CORRECTED:

Justification for correction: added 2 fluffies in the NW Pac. :lol:

One close to the sern coast of the Philippines (visible also in the SLP chart, with a fair LLCC) and another, very impressive and very convective near Pohnpei.
