Another view of it:

Seems to be worth keeping an eye on, one would think.

Nope...I just looked at WV and upper air charts. I don't see any evidence of an ULL there.

Mods, perhaps we now need two separate threads.

The area near the Wndwards seems to be slowly organizing.

Well if it's not a ULL then their is definately something there. Circulation is easily picked up on vis. satellite....the Bay of Campeche that is.

It looks as if it moving due north.

The only thing it's lacking is convection.... we'll see what happens tonight.

it not a ULL. I have been harping on this in the local thread. Both NAM ( I know not good for tropics) and MM5 have been hinting at something in the BOC the last couple of days. I havent look at todays run. Bears watching......always wanted to say that.... :lol:

the vis loop looks to me like a mid-level feature. I cannot see any lower clouds streaming into the mid level swirl. That is of course as of right now...


Just looked at the latest guidance. The Euro has a low in the BOC at 144hr moving north at 168. The latest NAM has some energy moving north at 84hr. The GFS showing some energy down there as well.

EURO 144hr to 168hr
http://www.ecmwf.int/products/forecasts ... 312!!step/

NAM 54hr still rolling in...
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod ... _054.shtml

GFS 144
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod ... _144.shtml

now all we need is a LLC to form....

It's growing like the proverbial weed, but no sign of rotation yet:

Hope this moisture doesn't hang around long enough for Helene to get a hold of it.

Looks like a surface low has formed in the BOC, if convection increases tonight we may have trouble lurking in the Gulf. The Buoy in the BOC definitely shows signs of a low! 29.81" and falling rapidly.

Dean....

I don't see any indications of a surface low in the BOC. Those measurements from that station are not at all that unusual.

normal evening pressure falls for what I can tell. Not concerned so much now as the convection has dissipated. Lets see if tonight during the DM something gets fired up again.....

I need to take a bit of time and understand more the interaction of a system just off the coast of Mexico and how it impacts anything trying to form in the GOM, and specifically the BOC.

I checked the buoy to the north which happens to be much closer to the front now exiting the TX. coast and it had higher pressure I believe at 29.84" and checking the Mexican coastal obs all have higher pressure.

Also yesterday at the same time the pressure was 29.85"

The 06z NAM spins up a 1008 mb low and heads it for Texas.........


http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod ... loop.shtml



12z NAM pretty much the same thing.

Something to keep an eye on like everyone is saying. If convection increases tonight it looks plausible.
