Click on 95L to your right. Go down and click on "scat" and you can see massive 45+ throughout the Gulf. It's 12-20 gusting into the mid 20's here as the rain has begun. It's not a shield but just a band of some coastal showers moving across.

Possibly thunderstorm/rain contaminated readings ...

Also wouldn't doubt in the least bit with some dry air infiltration and strong dynamics (jet enhanced) that some thunderstorms are likely severe cells ...

Not so sure, as the QS shows these strongest winds all moving generally from east to west in the NE Quad where we would expect the strongest winds with a developing TC. If these 45kt. winds were purely Convection induced they would be in outflows toward the north as all of these cells are moving northward. I don't know what dry air you are referencing down in the BOC, don't see any........

there is a fairly strong pressure gradient across the northern GOM. The disturbance does look a little better organized today.....MGC

Quite gusty in the gulf in some of those outer squalls. Pretty impressive stuff:

Here in Baton Rouge we are already getting rain that appears tropical in nature. Ex. starts and stops quickly but with heavy downpours. wind is still light but with the downpours it picks up. I guess things will go downhill from here on through the weekend.
