I'm not seeing anything but steady pressures in the Keys and in the eastern Gulf. What bouy were you looking at?



Cancel that might of helped if I was looking a current data not historical. Having a blone moment here :oops:

GULF OF MEXICO...
A BROAD UPPER RIDGE REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE SOUTH CENTRAL
U.S. COVERING THE NW GULF. AN UPPER TROUGH EXTENDS FROM THE
EXTRA-TROPICAL CYCLONE BERYL IN THE NW ATLANTIC SOUTHWARD OFF
THE EAST COAST OF THE U.S. ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA TO THE EASTERN
GULF. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW HAS BECOME BETTER DEFINED TODAY AT THE
BASE OF THE NARROW TROUGH CENTERED NEAR 26N86W. BUOYS/QUIKSCAT
INDICATES SOME SURFACE REFLECTION WITH CYCLONIC TURNING OF WINDS EVIDENT. AS OF 2100 UTC...THE SURFACE TROUGH WAS ANALYZED FROM
LAKE OCKEECHOBEE FLORIDA TO 25N86W. THIS UPPER LEVEL PATTERN IS
PRODUCING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND TSTMS E OF 86W ACROSS FLORIDA
AND THE BAHAMAS BETWEEN 22N-26N. IN THE CENTRAL/WEST
GULF...ISOLATED MODERATE CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ON THE WEST
SIDE OF THE TROUGH AXIS SOUTH OF THE LOUISIANA COAST THROUGH
25N. SCATTERED MODERATE/ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION PERSISTS IN
THE BAY OF CAMPECHE TRIGGERED BY THE TROPICAL WAVE ACROSS THE
YUCATAN AND DUE TO AN UPPER RIDGE EXTENDING WEST THROUGH S
MEXICO. WEAK SFC PRES GRADIENT IS PRODUCING LIGHT WINDS ACROSS
THE AREA. MODELS KEEP A FAIR AMOUNT OF MOISTURE IN THE GULF THIS
WEEKEND...ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AS UNSETTLED AS
TODAY IN THE E GULF. A COLD FRONT MAY DIG AS FAR SOUTH AS THE N
GULF ON SUN.

If something does get going, the GOM could really provide some fuel. Check out the latest minimum central pressure and potential maximum winds: http://wxmaps.org/pix/hurpot.html

Amd having lived on the coast for a a long time. Seen many develop near shore and we are in a weird eerie storm pattern right now. Not typical summertime storms.

They say that often. We know how unpredictable the weather can be. It's impossible to make such a prediction and be accurate all the time. Just stick to the satelite images and when something does form they'll be quick to change their forecast.

When you have clustered convection still active in the late hours over the GOM waters then in my opinion something is up.

I agree. I will not stop watching this until I am fully sure it is going to be nothing.

The BOC disturbance may actually move more N as upper level conditions become a little more favorable over the upcoming days as wind shear decreases. A weak front will move S and stall over the NGOM. As the high moves E it could bring the disturbance more N than W
