Right now it looks more healthier than it did 24 hours ago. It actually has some swirling going on in the center of convection. the clouds around it are starting to swirl into what looks like a developing center ( not an eye though ). I think this has a good chance of developing, it will move northward to a slight NNE course towards Gulfport, Mississippi and strike the coast probably just as a Tropical Depression ( if it develops ). If it does strike the coast as a tropical depression, warnings may go up. Mostly just Marine warnings and gale warnings...maybe even a Tropical Storm Watch. We will have to see.

45-50 mph my guess. It may briefly try to gain rapid organization before landfall. Maybe making 55 mph.

I can wait until August. I already had to go to work this afternoon. If it develops, then my Sunday will be spent on a 10-12 hr shift at work. I'd rather go cycling.... :wink:
