Some slight cyclonic turning can still be detected on IR (low clouds) over the Gulf of Honduras...but no associated deep convection yet...I know that Jose eventually formed from a similar convectionless swirl that moved from the Gulf of Honduras, over the Yucatan, and into the Bay of Campeche...so I'm watching...

Even though I know many people are watching Nate threaten Iceland and are totally unconcerned about this area, I'm still gonna watch what I want to watch :D

At this point if I don't care if it is a convectionless swirl, a ULC, MLC, LLC. ULL, LLL, a thunderstorm, heck..... a rain shower..... if I lived on the Gulf Coast I'd be watching it.

By the way, Rockyman, I thought Dauphin Island was pretty much taken out. I saw some pictures that were very sad, where are you posting from?

Yes, please stay on subject. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with this thread. I'm a little confused as to why n.c. sunshine posted that in this thread, but regardless, this thread isn't about Ophelia.

Btw, n.c. sunshine joined September 9, 2004, not a few days ago.

7:30am CDT Monday--The convectionless swirl is getting all dressed up...now let's see if he has anywhere to go.

Still not much according to the TWD:

W CARIBBEAN TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 88W/89W S OF 22N MOVING W 15
KT. WAVE IS BENEATH S FLOW JUST W OF AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH
ADVECTING TROPICAL MOISTURE WELL INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. WITH
THE DIFFLUENCE ALOFT...CONVECTION IS MORE ASSOCIATED TO THE
UPPER HIGH THAN THE TROPICAL WAVE.

AN UPPER HIGH IS LOCATED JUST W OF THE CAYMAN ISLANDS NEAR
20N84W GIVING THE FAR W CARIBBEAN S FLOW ADVECTING TROPICAL
MOISTURE OVER THE AREA. THIS IS GENERATING SCATTERED
MODERATE/STRONG CONVECTION OVER THE GULF OF HONDURAS WITHIN
60/75 NM OF LINE FROM HONDURAS COAST NEAR 16N84.5W TO 19N87W.
