8 AM TWO:

1. Cloudiness and showers associated with a trough of low pressure over
the south-central Gulf of Mexico have decreased since yesterday
and the Air Force reconnaissance plane scheduled to investigate the
system for today will likely be cancelled. However, upper-level
winds are forecast to become a little more conducive for
development, and a tropical depression could still form Thursday or
Friday before the system reaches the western Gulf Coast. Regardless
of development, heavy rainfall and gusty winds are expected across
portions of northeastern Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana late this
week, and interests there should monitor the progress of this
system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.

Is this blowup around the center? it looks very small and compact... I wonder if the center will develop under the ball of convection this am... Hows the wind shear

I couldn't believe how pitiful 95L looked last night. But admittedly, it appears to be making a bit of a comeback this morning based on latest IR satellite loops.

Yeah if it is moving ... it's not much at all, like a crawl.

I agree with you about the latest WV loop and what appears to be a center of circulation. I have not looked enough to see if it's a mid level center or something trying to spin up at the surface. If the NHC is sticking with 70% chance I guess they see something we don't.

Definitely making an attempt to comeback. FWIW, the 06Z HWRF shows a 46mph landfall near Matagorda on Friday.

The spin may not be at the surface... I'm very shocked she didn't move any though...

As long as that upper level trough is along the Texas coast, it's going to shear the heck out of 95L's western edge. If that trough moves away or dissipates then I could see some possible development.

It appears to me the LLC evident on the visible this morning is pulling closer to the convection to its east. Or have I been looking at the loop too long?

Looks like the NNE to SSW shear is blowing the cloud tops that direction, producing an optical illusion, but I could be wrong...

FWIW, our mets lowered the risk of this system for the Greater Houston Area, as far as winds are concerned to 1%. The threat of heavy rain is still there, but they also lowered that risk as well due to the system potentially taking a more southern path. At this point, the further south it goes, the better because those areas need the rain much more than the upper Texas coast does. Hopefully, this is a trend.

I wouldn't be surprised if we're back up to 70% at the next NHC tropical discussion. The system is definitely on the rebound. Interesting also to note that recent runs of the RGEM and HWRF show at least something of tropical storm strength hitting the coast.

The GFS is not a fan of a heavy rain event. Not sure I agree with it.

Most of the models have been on the flip flop with the developing versus wave solution. The only one that has stuck with nearly the same solution run after run has been the GFS with a sloppy mess hitting around Corpus Christi (south or north adjustments with some runs). We'll know in a day or so if it was right!

2 PM TWO: 70%/70%

1. Satellite images and surface observations indicate that a broad
area of low pressure has formed in the central Gulf of Mexico.
Although the shower activity is still disorganized, upper-level
winds are forecast to become more conducive for development, and
it is likely that a tropical depression will form on Thursday,
before the system reaches the western Gulf coast. Another
reconnaissance plane is scheduled to investigate the disturbance
tomorrow. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall and gusty winds
are expected across portions of northeastern Mexico, Texas, and
Louisiana late this week, and interests there should monitor the
progress of this system, and refer to products from their local
weather office.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

Can we go for the quintuple? Very rare scenario if that happens.

SO is the center located under the small ball of convection?

FWIW, our mets adjusted the track to between Brownsville and just south of Corpus Christi. Still predicting heavy rain for the entire Texas coast.
