Convection in GOM
It is most certainly frontal in nature, but I wonder if it could eventually get going off the old frontal boundry if it maintains itself.

Its the tail end of the Front no doubt, and would assume nothing would come from it, but guess this time of year is the front watch for storms..

Re: convection in southern GOM
What I find even more interesting is that old ULL that is now just north of the yuk has started to develop convection near the center.

Re: convection in southern GOM
Besides a weak late season subtropical or tropical system over the central Atlantic. I think this season is pretty much dead.

Re: convection in southern GOM
The end node of the front is usually where systems form. Also, this area is a 2007 hot spot for near coast developers. The problem is I think the center of this forming disturbance is over land and the front has already passed so it won't drag it north.
The shear induced convection on the east side of the ULL over the GOM is being dragged north over rain-starved Florida. Maybe we'll get some rain. Gray and overcast here.

I don't know about southern Gulf, but the western Gulf is looking very interesting.
Definite circulation there...

Re: convection in southern GOM
I don't know what you are seeing that is a circulation that would be anything that would produce a TC or have a chance of producing one.

Re: convection in southern GOM
Might be invest worthy next week. Looks like an anticyclone over the western gulf and pulsing convection over the central gulf.
Surface winds seem to indicate something going on at the end of the front.

Still too early for season over posts (except for texas)

Re: Convection in GOM

Upper level winds are strong in the GOM so nothing to be concerned about in terms of tropical development.

Meh, well it looked like it was trying to consolidate, never happened I guess.

Weak attempt at formation.
We got the dry slot again with maybe 1/100th of an inch while areas around us got inches. This is about 5 out of 6 that missed us while surrounding areas got good rain.
