Whats The strange VOID
I know this is a little off topic but what is that strange void in the western gulf of Mexico!! i am baffled it looks like some sort of out flow boundry but yet everything seems to going around it like its bubble or something. its almost perfectly round and the weirdest part is .. is that its moving at a right angle to the rest of the flow !! any thoughts ??

i have seen outflow boundries my whole life but not quite like that .. its a little stranger
you notice in the loop that that everything seems to be going around it ..and why is it moving at a right angle to most of the low level flow

Still looks like a common outflow boundary. As for moving against the low-level flow - the outflow boundary IS the low-level flow once the thunderstorm collapses. Where the outflow boundary moves opposite to the surrounding area's low-level flow is where the strongest convergence is located. That's why heavier storms are forming on the east and southeast part of the outflow boundary.
