That's about 200 miles east of the weak LLC -- in those weakening squalls that are moving off to the north. Not surprising to see 25kts in those squalls. The plane should be reporting back that they haven't found a TD shortly.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS/TPC NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
530 PM EDT SUN JUN 13 2004

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT DATA...INDICATES THAT THE BROAD LOW PRESSURE
AREA OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO REMAINS A LITTLE TOO
DISORGANIZED TO UPGRADE TO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION. THE HIGHEST
ASSOCIATED SURFACE WINDS ARE LESS THAN 25 MPH. HOWEVER THERE
REMAINS A POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS AND
...IF NECESSARY...ANOTHER AIRCRAFT WILL INVESTIGATE TOMORROW
MORNING. A LARGE AREA OF RAINFALL ACCOMPANIES THIS SYSTEM WHICH
COULD AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE US GULF OF MEXICO COASTAL STATES
DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.

A WESTWARD MOVING TROPICAL WAVE IS LOCATED ABOUT 1000 MILES EAST OF
THE WINDWARD ISLANDS. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF DEVELOPMENT.

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL STORM FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY.
