This is showing a definate counter clockwise spin today.... looks like it is trying to develop a center. BUT it's VERY close to land... may or may not be able to develop ...
Projected to move N or NE ... If it goes NE, it will have a better chance to become something more than what it is at this time

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE CONDUCIVE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT...AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM TODAY OR TOMORROW.
