NW Carib-Shear relaxed? Chance for development? Question

[rockyman]

What a difference a day makes...the NW Carib shear seems to have relaxed to less than 10 kts...and the convection, while not that impressive ATT, seem to be "fanning out" like an upper high is building in...

Here's a question...Looking at these maps, is that "L" in the NW Carib a surface low or mid-level or upper-level? The low tracks from the NW Carib into the central Gomex

Also, what affect will that old front have on this sytem...if it moves into the central Gomex? Thanks in advance for your input!!

That's not a "low pressure" low.

It's a shear map...the "L" just represents a low spot for shear.

Thanks, Derecho!

I had a feeling that the "L" didn't mean what I took it to mean...otherwise, there would have been mass hysteria on the bulletin board about an impending disaster!

So does the "L" usually correspond to an upper high, and if so, is its "movement" indicative of anything?

What should be noted here is that it does indicate favorable UL wind enviro. for easten half of GOM just as old TD2 comes into the picture there.

Just the opposite up here in Central Alabama, I'm hoping this thing develops and spreads some moisture this way, has been very dry for the past couple weeks (besides one storm day about 10 days ago)
