SW/NW Carribean & N.GOM?

I know most of the attention today is focused on the East coast disturbance but what about the SW/NW Carribean & N.GOM?

I think you are covering a 5000-mile area with this topic - so something is bound to form somewhere lol. :lol:

The northern gulf of Mexico is a decaying thunderstorm complex . . . nothing to worry about there.

The western Caribbean is a tropical wave producing a lot of convection. It's unlikely that it would develop on this side of the continent, but still something to watch. It is probably the least likely to develop something of the 4 areas of interest in the Atlantic right now.

Sure I am, I'm actually glad you posted this topic because there is alot of shower and thunderstorm activity in the SW Caribbean....it's always something to watch although it *should* not develop into anything

Am I imagining things, or do those decaying thunderstorm in the northern gulf seem to be spinning a little? What causes this appearance?

This is a quote from JB's evening discussion which mentions this:

I am even a little concerned about the vort max spinning south off the Louisiana coast. Remember how Alicia got started. Let's not go there yet, okay, but I am hoping tomorrow at this time, it's just a laughable feature rather than thunderstorms with established outflow over the northern gulf.

You can read more about JB's ideas on the tropics in my JB thread.

Very broad low located over SE La. Nothing really showing anything close to a organized disturbance but hey, something to watch.

Got plenty of rain here in a short amount of time I guess from the instability from this combined with the heat. Funny thing is it stopped raining outside, but it is still raining inside. Oh well we need it.

Well, this would explain the 89mph winds along the Louisiana coast! LOL

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.....

NW/SW Carribean continues to look interesting.

There continues to be an area of rotation over Honduras moving slowly northward toward the Gulf of Honduras...let's see what happens when/if this area makes it back out over water....
Wind shear is quite low in this region:http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real-time/atlantic/winds/wg8shr.html

Wasn't there a forecast last week saying there will be a low in the southern GOM?

Heavy Storms in NW gulf but probably too close to land for any development.

Keep an eye on this area in the central GOM.

Why? Is something supposed to happen there? The biggest blob is over land in Texas.

Vort Max yesterday was over S/E LA and Southern Miss. I can't really make it out today so I guess it's washing out.
But look how much the wind shear has died down in the last 2 days
