im not even looking at the models.. its time to pay attention to actual data for any sort of cyclo-genesis . since neither low has actually formed ( although the low near the SE should take place later today) the models beyond maybe over pattern development are not very helpful. the RUC will be the model to look at for the rest of the day.

Impressive visible shot of the intense convection out head of a stronger-than-normal cold front for this time of year.

This front may even clear mainland South Florida before heading back as a warm front..impressive indeed.

Watch the sunny areas of SE FL -- I would expect big storms to blow up there later with the heating of the day and a very unstable atmosphere.

Aric is right,its time to look at actual observations and forget the models.Imagine a model that shows 4 lows between the NW Caribbean and GOM.That is what GFS has at the 12z at 96 hours.

:uarrow:

To be fair NAM and UKMET could be tracking pretty well. I'd like to see if these models verify or not.

but we need to pay attention to the hour to hour data and observation, no model can do that, expect the RUC and since we are looking at a non tropical low at the moment not a bad idea to see what its doing.. but still satellite analysis and surface obs will be our best bet for the rest of today since the models are still all over the place for genesis. whats that happens either non,hybrid,sub,or tropical the models will be less than useful beyond major pattern developments. this is the fun part anyway searching for the first site of the closed low forming( at the surface) lets see you find it first..!!

here is my initial examination.. an average distance from the SE flow to the NE flow and area of relative calm wind, is the likely area for a closed low to form ..

Hey jesse saw mark at the conference where were you ?

also i did not throw out the challange i actually challenged everyone to analyze satellite and surface obs to try and find where the circ may form lol

Whatever is in the SE GOM
looks kind of interesting. I would
think this is the area to watch. IMO

Lets just say a surface low does form se gulf, wouldn't the mlc over the bahamas create sheer to keep it from developing? Just wondering. Seen a lot of mlc's zap main lows before.

I'm in one of those areas in Florida where the sun hasn't disappeared yet...got plenty of towering clouds to the west and we got some big cells developing ahead of the frontal boundary

Got some pretty big fireworks a'comin here :wink:

If it wasn't for the recent outflow boundary barfed out, I'd say the Jamaica/Bahamas system was trying to develop a low level circulation.

The 12 UTC Analysis has a surface trough in the EGOM.

I saw something around there too, around 22 N, 77 W, looked like some low clouds were beginning to wrap around

I honestly can't tell the difference though between any lower, mid, or high level clouds so I'm refraining from saying anything :ggreen:

Right now I'm not sure if there is snything to noteable in the gulf but the region Aric has circled earlier is one I'd be watching to see in case a lower level circulation does try and develop. Nice convection as well present just to the north.

I think I'm seeing a LL spin about 90 miles north of the western tip of Cuba, anyone else see this spin?

The ULL is becoming very pronounced around 27N-87W - looks to be drifting slowly SE - about where the ECM forecasted it. Shear is very high over most of the area so whatever low pressure develops will definitely be cold core to start out. The Euro essentially vertically stacks the low pressure underneath the ULL. Given the synoptics, this could turn out to be the most likely scenario.
