Not a whole lot in the 8:05 TWD, however, but it does look interesting.

I'm guessing something relating to convection complex?

isn't this activity in the GOM the tail end of the storm system that's currently dumping huge amounts of rain on me and areas north and east of me?

MCS courtesy of a late spring cool front pushing into the GoM...off a tail lobe of the big low that's been spinning over the Great Lakes the last several days. Bringing "Chamber of Commerce" weather to much of the western and northern Gulf Coast the next few days. Summer's coming, so enjoy it while it lasts! :D

Good god, look at that. We've seen tropical storms not take up that much Gulf area.

I doubt that makes it to Florida. I never remember big mesoscale systems in the Gulf making it over here.....they usually pulse down substantially or dissipate, much to my chagrin.

Persistent convection along tail end of a front in the Gulf....in a couple of weeks, we'll be looking for possible tropical development out of these things.

At this point all it is is a MCC, as Doc stated above. MCC's can develop into something if all the conditions are correct, but it takes time and this complex just came our over water last night. No need to get excited, at least not yet. I don't even know what the current conditions are in that area as I haven't had time to check, but my guess is that they are somewhat hostile. maybe someone who has more time than I do can give us an update on the conditions in the West GOM in relation to possible TC development potential??

There isn't a whole lot of shear where it is right now...if it moved northwest towards Texas or southwest towards NE Mexico, it could develop easily into TS Alberto...it kinda looks like Allison right now.

This thing looks like it's headed due east though. I doubt it will get any stronger. Hopefully will bring us some much needed rain!

I think development is possible if it can sit over the water long enough and slowly move north. Being as it is mid May, however, I would only give this thing a 2% chance of developing (If it were July though...then I would say it probably would have a 70% chance).
