Don't know if this will have time to develop but will bring rain to Texas before upper high builds in.

Yes, and the same goes for the summer storms that move from east to west around a high to our north. They're usually much stronger, and at times violent, than the garden variety sea breeze front induced storms that move in a northerly direction off the Gulf.

Case in point: the storms that rolled through the Baton Rouge metro area yesterday evening.

P.S. That would be just south of the Florida/Alabama state line.. is that a counter-clock wise rotation I'm seeing?

That's what I'm seeing...I'm hoping to get the attention of one of our experts.

Maybe they can confirm.....

Mainly an upper Low but we'll see if it can get boared down to the surface.

If you look at the bouy and marine data off of Louisana you'll see a surface low. Ship V7HD2 12 from the SSE , Bouy 42007 5 from ESE, Bouy 42662 12 from North. Pressures are VERY high in the area though.

I get it from GR Level 2 and 3 with an allison house feed but you can also get it from oceanweather.com or sailwx.info. National Bouy center at ndbc.noaa.gov should give you some too.
