Brian: Tropical wave badly sheared in Atlantic, but still alive..

The tropical wave I've been watching in the Atlantic the last several days is experiencing very high wind shear yet is maintaining at least some of its convection as it approaches the Leeward Islands. The center of circulation is still evident on satellite (I'll show you this at 5:45 on WINK), with all of the thunderstorms pushed away from the center due to the southwesterly shear. This wave should bring tropical moisture toward south Florida by the middle of next week.
