Something to watch? Probably just a frontal low.

you just beat me to this post!!!

Yes, look at the NWS Mia radar, it is also showing some twist off the Florida east coast but it hard to say. Looks like maybe some of the colder cloud tops are just doing tricks on us. I doubt anything will come of it though.

I believe what you're seeing is the cold front boundary off the southeast U.S. Coast. Wind directions change just like that ahead of and behind a front.

Probably so 57, just a little eddy along the wind shift line. Just looked at the radar in that area and there's only a few showers nearby.

Agreed it's doing the same thing off the western coast near Pinellas county

This little swirl still hanging in there. If it starts getting T-storms wrapping around it I'll be a bit more concerned.

Seems to be getting a little better organized, with some slight pressure drops

Of course shear will reduce any development.
