Something is a spinning and a cookin' in GOM

Well take a look at the lastest visible loop of the GOM. You can easily see the rotation around 23 and 93. Looks like it's moving westward very slowly if at all.

More than just the New Orleans area should watch out.

Yeah I really don't see how anything going on down there can affect Louisiana with a front forecasted to move through wed/thurs and another late this weekend. Thoughts anyone?

The disturbed weather may be far enough south that the next front (Thurs/Fri) will not be much influence in terms of moving or steering, but those NNE winds behind it could aid in tightening things up a bit. As I posted a couple weeks ago, around the first week of October, we'd see a change in the flow pattern from amplitude to zonal, and that's going to wreak havoc on forecasting the future of whatever, if anything, develops down in the BoC. IMHO, the height falls early next week might very well create a flow that would lead to a slow agonizing crawl north, then a quick trip to the NNE/NE for any tropical cyclone that might...possibly...develop.

If it doesn't simply wander off and disappear into a cantina in Tampico come this weekend, then a lot of current forecasts from, say, Morgan City on east to Appalachicola just might get turned on their heads.

Ah...never a dull moment when GoM weather dirties up!
