That blob has some good deep convection to it aswell as that blob over the yucatan. IIf we can disconect that yucatan blob from the front and have the two blobs merge I think we might have something.

There's no blob in Yucatan, it looks as clean as ever.

No Pro required.. Yucatan is void of convection.. :wink: :lol:

Nice blob off Columbia and Panama ATM. Persistance is key of course.

Whoops I meant that strip of convection near Nicaragua and that other blob near Colombia. If that strip of convection breaks away from the front and it merges with that other blob we might get something since the shear is low in the area.

We are waiting for what may happen between the cold front and the tropical wave confrontation. So far, that's a day or two apart.

Hurricane Hunter 914, IM not sure it even needs that...I looked on an IR loop and it already has banding features, very high convection, and cyclonic turning

Wait, wait, hold your horses, this is just a blob of convection that left Colombia a few hours ago. Wait a day and if it persists, then we may have something. Like it was said before, persistance in the key. You're going to fast!!!

Local met (Rob Perillo) stated that things could "get interesting" in the GOM by Memorial Day weekend. He quickly showed a graphic of something entering the GOM and making it to the central GOM by the start of the Mem. Day weekend. Geesh, I hope not - although we could use the rain.

Everyone should remember that this thread was started with a hypothetical argument.

Hypothesis: A cold front slides through the Caribbean and meets a tropical wave. Convection erupts when the two entities meet, a low pressure forms, the cold front fades away, and under weak upper-level winds, a tropical cyclone could form.

Will it happen. Time will tell.

Sorry I worded that wrong...I knew it wasnt going to develop right then and there, but what I was saying was that it looked really good, maybe even a low but I forgot to add in to wait a while

This thread sounds like a 1st date and better yet a blind date.
