use tinypic.com It is much easier in my opinion. Save the image to your computer and then upload from there.

I have no idea why you have to use anything to upload a pic.. I went to that tinypic.com and had to put in a password that "Dawn Cleans 2x more grease than other soaps". LOL... This thing used to be so simple . I still don't know how to use tinypic.com. When is says UPLOAD PHOTO BELOW.. I go to a website where I upload my pic so I can download it again?

Is very easy to use Tinypic.com to upload images like this one that is saved. Click the url circle,then put the link of the image ,then click the green upload now,type the words it will tell you and after that you have the pic saved.

This area is just the tail end of the tail end trough from Andrea, slight h85 vorticity but shear is high and pressures keep rising. Moisture to keep moving north towards the northern gulf coast.

there is some inflow at the surface so there must be low pressure under that convection. If the sheer lets up it could be 93L but its the weekend so..

does have some low level convergence and some voricity.....spit out an outflow boundary and is in a high shear area....

I think they are just mentioning it because it is close to land. Although I would have gone about 20%.

Gulf Disturbance Blob (hey, why not in this day and age?!) is going gangbusters with the PW values and good soaking rain for the coast, but that's all. High shear values and rapid movement are your friends in this case.

[Stormcenter]

Lots of mess still in the GOM.

I would deem this subject, Blob pt. 2, Return of More Blob! This new blob looks rather interesting, especially now with it seeming to find something that resembles either a wanna be llc, or a clash of outflow boundaries, either way it is very interesting to look at right now. I'm hoping for an invest....especially with 6Z GFS saying something could brew here....We could use the rain...

It's too close to land to turn into anything, I'd say.

I'd vote for BLOB 2: THE BLOBBENING.

[Janie2006]

Nope, just another blob, and no Steve McQueen to save the day. Those high clouds are getting sheared all the way into southern Alabama.

The most interesting thing about that satellite piccie is the afternoon convection over Cuba.
