looks like a frontal low

[Derek Ortt]

this system appears to be very frontal in nature. I cannot tell the difference on sat imagery from the frontal band to its north and the cyclone, if there even is a center, which I cannot find on visible imagery. Instead, it appears to be a broad low

So does this mean it's easier or harder to forecast who is going to get the flooding?

[rbaker]

defin. connection in appearance with cloud features as a front, but also can see a well defined spin on the left side of the blob of convection, which is where the center of the low, depression is.
To me this would be more of a sub tropical low in appearance, and wind field spread out over the gom in all directions at about same speeds.

very linear.... if this was in the gulf from a front, we'd be talking about possible low developing... but its not seperated yet.
