A very broad, slight twist in the trough. If the middle level circulation can catch up, could be a little more to take note of.

ULL forming in North Fla. will probably increase shear.

Pressures are falling but the surface winds are not showing a surface low.

If they are truly falling, the wind will take time to catch up.

There is definitely some twisting motion with this.

the only problem is right now this system looks HORRIBLE! It needs to sustain more of a ball of convection before it can develop.

I'm sure not complaining about the lack of convection! I'm not sure what the odds are of a shallow low traveling over bath tub warm water all the way to Texas without flaring and deepening? Hey it could happen right?

It's possible. I think it's got the potential to develop into a TD.

Wait, if this has the potential for some slow development, shouldn't this be 97L?

I don't know the answer to that one Hurricane Hunter 914. I am waiting for the next forecast to come out local. Off to watch it.


Still not saying too much on WKRG at 5. Just rain potential for this area which we need badly.

It looks like the LLC has run SW out from under the convection. Its spinning just off the Cuban coast.
