Here it comes....

So true 57! They are going to the wrong place.

I'm not saying it's the wrong place. There's nothing at the surface off to the east for the plane to visit. Just a weak mid level swirl. But there is an apparent LLC forming near 24N/92.5W in the center of that small area of convection. Guess I'll have to head into the office to get ready just in case.

Sorry 57, that is what I meant.

I think there is a possibility of the "exposed" southwest portion of the system to loop around, i.e. join each other. That would be the "center," the main or one of many to the southeast of the western convection and northwest of the eastern convection.

I think what we are seeing to the east will dissipate. Everything in the Gulf is beginning to respond in correlation to the tropical storm forming in the west central gulf. This system is the center of activity that is developing nicely and should strike Louisiana as a tropical storm in the next two days, IMO.
