A few models are hinting at low pressure development near S FL or the eastern GOM. The CMC for the last 3 or 4 runs develops a tropical cyclone off the SE FL coast. Not much model support but about the only place somewhat favorable for development is the eastern GOM with shear values between 5 and 10 kts.
