Hello yall, first post of the season. Have enjoyed reading all of the posts. The system over the Yucatan is starting to heat up.
It has grown in size today and seems to be wrapping up. The ULL out in front will move SW and help swing this system up into the GOM. If a LLC does form it would most likely be in the lower BOC. Looks like more rain for S Texas, of course this is just my humble opinion.
Yucatan looking good

Although to me it looks like a typical atlantic system trying to form once it gets in the gulf.
It has nice ventilation in the clouds with it as well.
There can be a fine line between "ventilation" and "shear," but in this case, it's very much towards the shear end of things...but it's divergent shear that encourages convection, but very much prevents tropical development.
Don't really see any indication it will ever have an upper high either over it directly or north of it.

It's quite common for waves moving into the Yucatan to really flare up over land during peak afternoon heating. The key will be what happens when it's back over the water of the southern BOC. Will there be enough lifting to sustain the convection over water without the benefit of daytime heating?

on the Yucatan system in the 8pm discussion.
If not from a developmental standpoint, at least from a convective one. With a mid-to-upper level low moving into the vicinity, chances of anything going hogwild on us this weekend are IMHO, unlikely.
I am kind of suprised by the line in the discussion that reads "THIS REGIME WILL LIKELY ALLOW MOISTURE AND SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE WAVE TO SURGE RAPIDLY NWD OVER THE CENTRAL GLFMEX POSSIBLY REACHING THE N GULF COAST BY LATE SAT NIGHT. "
Absolutely no reference to this in the local discussions, though the Lake Charles office makes reference to SE Texas getting a swath of moisture coming up from this system. I guess that must be what the TPC is referring to. Or else I'm just too much of a stickler when it comes to geography!
