Given the large, but poorly organized appearance of Invest 97L this morning, the National Hurricane Center has postponed a planned recon mission by the Hurricane Hunters today. The mission is now scheduled to take place tomorrow (and likely will as the environment becomes more favorable for organization/development of this tropical wave). As I mentioned earlier, we should carefully watch the new convection (thunderstorms) that are firing over the Virgin Islands this morning. These are located in a low-shear environment and well removed from the dry air over the Bahamas; it is possible a new area of low pressure could develop here later today and become "the" one to watch.
