Loopty-Loop in GOM?

28n 88w looks to be moving South really fast. Is this an upper level satellite eye trick? The pressure is high all around it 8-)

the shear is relaxing a bit, and some convection has started to slide with this feature now.

I remember Humberto formed out of nowhere right before it happened. Looks like it may happen again.

Looks to be just convection fireing along the occluded front that has dropped south into the GOM.

It's not occluded, it's stationary.
