Wonder if this area will be mentioned in the TWO?

It's at an upper-level low, so not unless it works its way down to the lower levels (which is an unlikely scenario).
The latest GFS runs do indicate a fairly good amount of 850 mb vorticity, but who knows.

It's not just an upper level low. It already has a well defined (998 MB) surface reflection. It's simply cold core (ET) right now.

No worries, it's about to get swallowed up by a larger ET low to it's north in another day or two.
