Explode into a TS or maybe a cat 1 in roughly 24 hours no doubt, if the shear was low.

With this shear there would be nothing. I don't think it would explode immediately with lower shear because such a tail end of an old front need some time to organize.

It would have to develop a cut off low at the tail end of the front for much of anything to happen. Then if the conditions were "ripe"/right possibly something could "spin up".

Watch, that big blob will fizzle before it gets to the peninsula. Although the Miami AFD today did make some mention of the thunderstorms possibly firing over the LOOP CURRENT....

The GOM won't be fired up - at least for a while after this huge front. Well it's amazing how just a week can change things. Watch the temps in the GOM fall at least 3-5 degrees over the next week as this unusually cold air mass sets in. CHECK OUT all the cold air clouds forming behind the front. That is showing the GOM is on the cool down at this very moment.

It's fronts like these that happen late on occasion that could really set the GOM back for months and not allow formation until later in the season. Although the W coast of FL doesn't want to see something like this in August...
