This morning first visible frames show lots of convection from the old frontal boundary in the southern GOM. Water is warm but right now upper level winds are hostile.
CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS CONTINUE FROM THE BAY OF CAMPECHE...
EAST-NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE YUCATAN PENINSULA...THE SOUTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO...THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA...WESTERN CUBA...AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA. THIS ACTIVITY IS PRIMARILY ASSOCIATED WITH A SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE NOT FAVORABLE FOR TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION...ALTHOUGH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS MAY CONTINUE OVER PORTIONS OF THIS AREA DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
Does anybody know if shear is forecast to lessen allowing development or continue to inhibit development in this area through the weekend?
Southern Gulf and BOC?

Judging from water vapor loops, it looks conditions have become favorable down there developing but nothing appears iminent yet .

A missing ingredient might possibly be the fairly strong tropical wave moving WNW across the Eastern Caribbean. By some point into the upcoming weekend, things could begin to muddy up enough down there to require closer scrutiny.
This is not an official forecast, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night...seriously.

18Z GFS seems to give a small window of mild alleviation from tomorrow through Friday, but goes back to full blast hostility in the Gulf immediately after that.
