Possibly.
Think the area you are looking at could be mostly mid-level. We will see.
That area currently has the greatest focus of energy at the 925, 700, and 500 millibar levels. 850 millibar vorticity could be argued to be more spread out, but with all other levels of energy focusing on the southwest portion of the storm and the strongest convection currently located over that area, then this is the location where'd you expect a closed low to form.
I think we are all referring to the same area. However, I believe the low level vort is off-set from the convection a bit. We will see. Thank goodness for recon.
