Tropical Depression in Caribbean less likely
Looks like this area of weather is just not going to develop into anything major:
NEW YORK, Aug 2 (Reuters) - A tropical wave in the eastern Caribbean now appears less likely than previously to become a tropical depression or cyclone, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Thursday.
In an outlook issued at 10:30 p.m. EDT (0230 GMT Friday), the NHC said, "Satellite images indicate that the shower activity associated with the tropical wave has decreased during the past few hours. This suggests that the system is not developing at this time and the potential for tropical depression formation has diminished."
"The tropical wave is expected to move rapidly westward bringing cloudiness and showers to Jamaica, the Cayman Islands and Central America during the next couple of days," it said."
The recent imagery does show it as mostly blown apart.
