Upper Level Low is helping to cause that convective burst in the BOC.

If the ULL continues moving North will the convection continue to it's East? Sure would be nice for that blob to move over S. Texas :D

There is a blob along the SW side of Florida that looks like it may have a little tiny spin? The vorticity map shows a little yellow around that area?
