Yeah, just from a quick overview of the Basin, if you had to pick a spot with at least a chance, it would be the BOC. Upper level conditions appear more stable here, and there is already some TS activity. So its got a shot.

Woah, look at that huge meatball of convection that sprang up over the Yucatan. That looks like it means business.

Just normal, diurnal convection, nothing to get excited about.

The Gulf is primed for business if a Storm does get into the Gulf, as this link below shows.

The diurnal convection over the Yucatan will compete with the feature in the BOC for inflow. The BOC blob may come back once that weakens with nocturnal cooling. IMHO.

I still suspect, in my non-professional opinion, that Felix isn't named before September.

The convection wouldn't compete with a potential developing low. It would actually get sucked in. IMHO. Need to watch this area as it has been persisting.

Yeah it's still there but it's getting very close to shore.
Radar, I don't know how to stitch these images together.

Convection is starting to fire near what can only be called a Low Level Center. This thing need to be onshore in less than 12 hours if the NHC doesn't want to be forced to classify it. Bupy 42055 has already had 25 mph 1-minute sustained winds this morning.
