Heavy convection, south of Hispaniola, continues to fire and move slowly west just south iof the TUTT centered north of the Mona Passage.

Anticyclone continues to work its way slowly south nearer to the convection.

Cloud tops are running 55 to 60K-ft.

The persistant heavy convection and solar heating of the cirrus will continue diabatic heating of the upper troposphere.

This will continue to develop the negative moist potential vorticity (NMPV) in the mid Carib's upper troposphere.

The improvement in the UL's should be indicated by the anti-cyclone moving over the convection.
