"THE GULF OF MEXICO...
A MIDDLE TO UPPER LEVEL CYCLONIC CIRCULATION CENTER IS NEAR
19N98W IN THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF THE AREA NEAR THE MEXICO
COAST. ISOLATED MODERATE SHOWERS TO LOCALLY STRONG THUNDERSTORMS
ARE IN AN AREA OF UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENT WIND FLOW SOUTH OF 29N."

It looks like everywhere is getting a bit overcrowded. Hopefully this amounts to nothing.

Nope. Even Bastardi has backed off on it. Little piece of a 500 mb trough that pinched off and retrograded (bit unusual this late in Autumn) Westward, should continue into Mexico.


Looks like it is trying, might even be a suggestion of low level turning near 23ºN and 94ºW, but it'll run out of time.


IMHO. It'd be an invest if NHC thought there was the slightest chance it might do something, as close to the US as it is.


Edit to add ADD high res satellite loop that updates every 15 minutes.

Then you KNOW it's dead.
