Not necessarily. Could be any thing from baroclinic to sub tropical. Bottom line is...looks like allot of much needed rainfall for Central & South Florida.

Actually, any low, cold core or not, is a cyclone. The word cyclone does not imply tropical in nature.


Thanks wxman57 for clarifying that. :D

Thunderstorm convection is way down from earlier, shear must be getting to it.

Shear values will only increase in the upcoming days. No chance of development. Still, very interesting convection as its origins are traced back to a huge MCC that developed late last night from just a few supercells. Kind of reminds me of that typhoon that developed from a single cumulonimbus cloud (can't remember who said that).

Uhh...If we wake up to a depression...I will be BEYOND shocked...I will be floored and down-righted flabergasted.

It's a cold front with an associated unstable wave. That's why it was only 78 degrees today for a HIGH today in HOUSTON! :lol:

Yes...the HIGH was 78. In the middle of May. That's how you know that's a cold front. :D

Wow, that's very interesting. I think you're talking about Super Typhoon Gordon.

Air Force, I already said it was unlikely to happen. Just based that on the latest nws discussion out of Tampa. :wink:

By the way this system is exactly what we needed to cool down the GOM. It's systems like these that keep the GOM in check.

So actually this is a good thing for us in the GOM since the waters will be cooled.

In the latest image, it sure looks like a sheered apart blob of mess, but in any event, it looks like a nice rain maker.
Have to admit I am jealous of whoever gets it as my vegetable garden would really love the rain.

I wouldn't be surprised if it goes poof before crossing Central-South Florida. It should just increase the rain chances but I don't think it will be that large when it is farther East.
