23.3/90.7 New LLC forming?

[rockyman]

OK...here goes my first post of the year...While I do see the old LLC sliding harmlessly WNW and away from the convection, my -removed- eyes have imagined a new LLC forming near 23.3/90.7...though with the loss of visible imagery for the day, I'm sure it was just an optical illusion...anyone else see this? Also, I do see some "feathering" of the clouds north of this new LLC...could the ULL or MLL to the west be helping ventilate this area?

Thanks everyone for the great posts so far this year...hardly any yelling or squealing (yet)...Let's all hope this "new age of manners" holds for the entire season!!

You may be right.

Welcome again to the best forum around the net when tropical weather is concerned.

Yes you may indeed be right Rockyman

Look at the last visible loop and you can plainly see what MAY be new center under the convection moving NW.

SW IR imagery doesn't show much of a twist. Sometimes blossoming convection can make things tricky.

While IR4 is not the best for finding obscure LLCs, the latest IR4 signature shows what appears to be the infant LLC slightly south of where I mentioned earlier...with heavy convection on the north east and south sides..also the old LLC seems to be fading out, it is almost undetectable on IR...earlier today it was more evident on IR as well as visible...

If the LLC is forming in this area, conditions seem more favorable...looking at the WV loops, the area is surrounded by a moister airmass (less dry air intrusion that the old LLC).

Actually the deepening convection over the NE portion of Yucatan is my area of concern.

I actually think I see what you are talking about. Also on WV it looks as if another front??? is headed east across TX and may send this stuff more north. Personally I don't think this is going to be much more than a rain event but is is exciting to have something to look at for a change.
