Off the East Coast?

This sure looks like some kind of tropical action.

Looks like a low along a frontal boundary. I saw it on the wide view and wondered if it wasn't getting something together.

Maybe a professional Met can chime in about the area off the SE coast, but it seems like it is at the tail end of a front or trough. Sometimes there can be close-in development that develop from these scenarios. SST's are certainly warm enough & shear is not too bad in the area right now., probably needs to be watched to see if it persists as it seems to be either stationary or slowly drifting South.

Classic area for this sort of development at the end of July.

I would look at the pressures around this area. If they are high, which they probably are, then should go poof by the morning. Not worried whatsoever about this blob.

Definately looks fishy almost looks like it has seperated from the front in recent images and looks as if there is some curverature to the clouds indicating a poss circulation. definately something spinning there. Let's see if it persists or just goes poof .... :D

Well it hasn't gone completely poof but has poofed some. If the convection hangs around long enough, certainly something could develop over time, but still nothing at all organized there at the moment.

There was a front that came through a few days ago here. Maybe it's giving this a little energy.

the NAM develops a couple lows that shoot off NE but the tail end seems to left behind at the moment so if it sits long enough we could see something..

Good Morning,

Is this front pretty stationary, or does it have some direction at this point?
