The surface trough of low pressure that was over the Bahamas has dissipated in the Florida Straits (waters between Florida and Cuba) while the trailing tropical wave of low pressure is further southeast over Cuba and the western Caribbean. Because the trailing tropical wave is further south… it is becoming suppressed by upper vorticity lingering in the Caribbean… and with the aforementioned surface trough dissipated there is no surface feature remaining that can take advantage of the more favorable upper winds developing further north over the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Therefore tropical development is not anticipated here or elsewhere in the Atlantic basin in the days ahead.
