Twin Spins in the Atlantic - Posible Tropical Developments?

Recently there was a "Weather Warrior" piece on the Weather Channel Regarding what would happen if two tropical storms can to be in close proximity to one another. A researcher in Japan discovered a possible 'spinning' effect around a - for lack of better words' - joint axis. While there appears to be a dry slot forming with the eastern most tropical disturbance - it may or may not be tropical - I do this for fun - if you follow the slot to the west and watch the water vapor in motion on the NOAA site - it appears that the two storms are connected. I saved this image from the NOAA site today around 11 AM.
