I don't know what it is, but the first thing you notice is that incredible shear.

This is a non-tropical area of thunderstorms that is associated with a s/w trough. Can someone move this thread to USA Weather or Winter Weather?

It's a disservice for the members to believe this area is discrete and tropical or subtropical. There's nothing.

Edit: Thanks, Luis.

Moved to this forum as this has nothing of tropical nature.

I don't see where anyone is thinking this could develop into a tropical cyclone? Yes, it was put in the wrong forum, but no on said anything that it was going to develop.
