Re: JB homebrew-Different from MLC Gulf thread.
I see a "weak" spin but it's definitely further south and west in the GOM based on the
visible loop (click below)then what others are pointing out. Either way I wouldn't bet on anything significant forming from this.

Re: JB homebrew-Different from MLC Gulf thread.
This is from the HPC short range extended outlook
LARGE PORTION OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA IS EXPECTED TO BE
AFFECTED BY AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WHICH IS FORECAST TO ORGANIZE OVER
THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO DURING THE DAY TODAY. A REFLECTION OF
THIS UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL EXIST AT THE SURFACE IN THE FORM OF A
SURFACE LOW WHICH SHOULD NOT MOVE MUCH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS. SINCE THE ATMOSPHERE WILL STAY VERY MOIST SOUTH OF THE
QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT... HEAVY RAINFALL IS LIKELY DUE TO SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS
TUESDAY NIGHT APPROACHES.

Even JB thinks this tops out as a 40 to 50 mph storm.

AFD NWS Tallahassee:
LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...CONVECTION DURING THE DIURNAL MAX PERIOD WILL
NEED TO BE MONITORED ACROSS THE NORTHEAST GOM. FAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL
FLOW ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE COMBINED WITH DEEP MOIST
CONVECTION OVER THE ENE GOM MAY/COULD ALLOW THE SURFACE LOW TO
SLIGHTLY CONSOLIDATE AROUND A LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC)
EMBEDDED IN THE BROAD/ELONGATED LOW OUT OVER THE WATERS. ON
THURSDAY...THE MODELS SHOW THIS WEAK LOW TRACKING NORTH OVER THE
WATERS TOWARD APALACHEE BAY. THE MODEL SOUNDINGS OVER THE BIG
BEND AREAS ARE QUITE IMPRESSIVE AND SHOW THE PWAT VALUES RANGING
FROM 2.25 TO 2.50 OVER PORTIONS OF THE BIG BEND. MID-LEVEL THETA-E
VALUES IN THE GFS TIME HEIGHTS ARE COMING IN AROUND 340K. AT THIS
TIME...WE WILL SLIGHTLY TREND DOWN THE WINDS AND SEAS ACROSS THE
EASTERN COASTAL WATERS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE UNTIL BETTER
CONFIDENCE IS GAINED OVER THE NEXT MODEL RUN OR TWO

Re: JB homebrew-Different from MLC Gulf thread.
Starting to pick up some convection in the eastern GOM and signs of a broad rotation just west of St Pete from the RAD. Might be interesting by tomorrow morning with DMAX tonight.

I like Drew... think he's a great guy and he's done a lot for this university... but I think it's time to hand it over to the young guy!
Yep, this disturbance has a longggggggg way to go before it amounts to anything... kinda like our offensive line.

Re: JB homebrew-Different from MLC Gulf thread.
Even if this does develope it looks like it will be another "lop sided" storm and will only affect the Peninsula and the Eastern Big Bend area...west of Apalachicola we probably won't see much of anything in the way of significant rainfall

Re: JB homebrew-Different from MLC Gulf thread.
Hopefully if anything it can stir up some nice surf along the Gulf coast...haven't seen a decent swell up here in the panhandle all summer.

Re: JB homebrew-Different from MLC Gulf thread.
Ah... now, I know that this thing is going to develop, at least into a TS... my best friend is flying down from Alaska [stationed in North Pole, AK... just got back from his 3rd trip to the middle east]... and he's rented a condo in PCB for the weekend...
