Area of disturbed weather over the southern GOM
Levi Cowan mentioned that this wave axis/ surge of moisture that was associated with Chantal might be something to watch. there is a lot of shear in the area now but he thought that as the upper low and though over the central US was to retograded and conditions should improve.
I was noticing that this area seems to have a weak twist to it on the visible sat loop, probably not at the surface. but maybe something to watch in the coming days.

Shear would really have to decrease across the GOM for this area to have any chance to develop.

Re: Area of disturbed weather over the Yucatan
This area is really firing some convection this afternoon...still nothing showing at the surface:
Upper level winds appear to be dying down in the SW Gulf...although they are still too high for "traditional" tropical development:

Deserving of a Yellow Circle? 0% At least it should bring some much needed rainfall towards my area

Re: Area of disturbed weather in the Southern GOM
Well the wave/trough has moved out into the Southern GOM and Northern and seems to be tracking NWard, looks like the tail end of the Upper trough is cutting off right over the top the lower level trough so chances are pretty slim for development even though convection has increased today.
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/gmex/mflash-wv.html
Should bring some rains for southern TX and NE MEX.
Conditions should be favorable east of the cut off low

Re: Area of disturbed weather over the southern GOM
I am noticing some definite turning just NW of the Yucatan. Buoy Station 42055 is showing lowering pressures as well.

Well, NHC did not give this area a mention at all in their 8 PM TWO. Apparently, they don't see this area doing anything as well as upper level conditions are too unfavorable.

Re: Area of disturbed weather over the southern GOM
I wasn't considering this much at all before today but just since this afternoon there has been a pronounced, much tighter MLC developing there. I circled it in the attached 1 km visible image. If you watch the satellite loops you can easily see the spin that has developed.

Re: Area of disturbed weather over the southern GOM
In the last few frames on RGB it looks like an area of low clouds on the southern side below my circle were moving from west to east and northeast. My eyes could be playing tricks on me, and so I'd want to see a lot more, but this is an area where things can spin up really fast. It probably has a day or two since steering is really weak down there. Worth watching.

Definitely nothing at the surface. BoC buoy just NW of your circled area has had SE wind at 10-15 kts all day. Not too concerned about development there. Interesting long-range GFS. Activity looks like it may be picking up on schedule as July ends.

Re: Area of disturbed weather over the southern GOM
I thought that was at the mid levels also but for such a define voricity, CIMSS isn't showing much at 750mb or 500mb and the upper levels winds show a low at that position. I also saw a cloud deck moving westward in the last few frames that didn't look to at the upper levels . Might be just a dying MLC
