Me either. I think they will find another one NE of there or, that's gonna die out. Convection plume is strong NE of there because of the SW shear.Not sure I was expecting the center thereView attachment 89234
The cone is a touch east of the 11 AM FWIW.Guess Ida will have to wait

I think they might find something NE of there....IF they don't, I think 1 of 2 things are going to happen..... This will stay weak, maybe a TS at best until it crosses Cuba, OR....this will form NE (under the deep convection plume) (closer to Cuba) and can strengthen more.View attachment 89236

...AIR FORCE PLANE FINDS DEPRESSION A TROPICAL STORM...
Although we might be able to conclude that .. we could look for a hopeful possibility that maybe that shear coming off of the hurricane in the Pacific may help us out by shearing off center a bit of the convection making IDA have to try harder to maintain a hot look … could keep her at a manageable level of cat 3 even though that it still badKind've sloppy buzzsaw by gfs. I imagine it'll be more symmetric than this

I agree, and I expect it to, but until it crosses Cuba...To many negative factors I think (short term) until it locates that center eastward or the SW shear backs off.It might be sloppy now, but we have seen tropical systems explode quickly the past few years.
