Re: Possible Gulf Disturbance (Drought buster?)
Moisture building in the SW Caribbean, the NAM and the GFS both show this moving NW into the BOC in the next few days. Then hopefully it will be pulled north as the trough appoaches out of the Plains.

According to NWSMiami the drought indicator is "exceptional" for the area. I thinks it's safe to say at some point this summer or fall a significant rainfall or 2 is quite likely. Mother nature always balances things out.
looks very dry for at least the next 10 days

The tropical wave that will eventually move into the southern GOM/BOC and that could become our suspect area has exploded with convection in the past few hours, but I think it has to do more with interaction with the upper level trough in the eastern GOM as surface pressures are somewhat high and have not fallen compared to 24hrs ago. Heck its satellite presentation looks better than 92E this morning.

I hope this doesn't turn out to be a week long tease.

Re: Possible Gulf Disturbance (Drought buster?)
This area was just north of Panama a few days ago. The only way this will develop in the BOC is if the persistent trough that has been there for over a week lifts out. At the moment the trough over the BOC is in a good position to add some shear lift to the convection.

Re: Possible Gulf Disturbance (Drought buster?)
Tropical development looks unlikely due to moderate to strong westerly shear in the central to northern Gulf. As for being a "drought buster", almost certainly not. Maybe enough to water the trees/grass if we're lucky in TX/LA coastal areas.

Looks like this will be mentioned in the next TWO, though as others said with strong shear even warm ocean temps cannot make a system:

Obviously drawing together. We'll see if conditions allow it to hold together.

The Belize radar shows plenty of rain moving into the Yucatan from the east.

Texas... some rain and cooler weather should get down there next week!!!
western gulf may light up with disturbed weather too.

I don't see upper level conditions that bad developing in the southern GOM/BOC next week as an upper level anticyclone develops over the area as forecasted by models, the only negativity that I see is the tropical wave's trough could get too close to the Mexican coast in GOM and any surface low pressure that wants to get going will have a hard time getting going because of proximity to land.

Re: Possible Gulf Disturbance (Drought buster?)
12z GFS still showing the area of disturbed weather with very heavy rain in the western Gulf....certainly a change in the pattern we have been seeing.

Still not buying the GFS , though I hope I am wrong and it would be nice to see some other model support for the GFS solution. .

GFS is not alone anymore as ECMWF has a low in BOC,although the timeframe is later than GFS.
