Gulf of Mexico
So I see the edge of that cold front that came through last week sitting in the gulf. Souldn't we be watching that for development?

Yes,bre,anytime a tail end of a front stalls in the GOM it has to be watched for the posibility of something getting going.Let's see what happens in the next few days with that tail.

Mid gulf buoy took a dive earlier but seems to have stabilized some for now.

Looks like this "tail" is starting to break of from the front.

Some shear exists now - I would expect the shear to decrease with the east coast trough lifting out and the Bermuda ridge building back in. It definitely bears watching. Located over a "hot spot" for tropical cyclone heat potential. Anything that would develop would likely be steered W-NW with a building bermuda ridge over the next few days.

Yes, it is very unusual to have a cold front dip down in the Gulf in July. I looked at the 7-day outlook and they have us dropping down to 84 degrees as a high. Usually at this time of the year in coastal SE Louisiana, we are in the mid to upper 90's. A unusual cold front was the only thing that kept Hurricane Charley coming this way.

Yes, we saw unusually strong cold fronts in 2004 also....so lets see how these strong cold fronts will effect the 2006 season.

This BOC blob looks interesting. Reminds me of Invest 94L this year.
