There's a vortex spinning south of the Keys. Not sure what it is. Convection in the area.

Probably just an ephemeral convergence vortex. May the thread drop quickly if it is.

Looks like a developing mid or ULL that appears to be moving NNE.

Yep, moving too fast to be any surface feature. (I wish I could delete the thread)

[IMHO]For the last couple of weeks, we've been seeing these east coast/west coast seabreezes going head-to-head and on any given day one or the other wins! Now it looks like the Bermuda high sliding westward is adding a little bit of turbulence to the air mass!!! :idea:

I know this is a little dated but conditions in the GOM seem not all that bad and there's some t-storms firing SW of the Keys( weak wave) that may pulse up and down for the next couple of days if it doesn't get caught up in the Easterlies.
Shear fairly weak.

just a tinge of 850 mb vorticity

lower convergence and upper divergence flatlined.
Key west radar

Yes I'm bored and this probably has less than 2 % chance of becoming a depression. Can't sleep so deal with it(ignore me) that's what the wife does. :roll:

I'm eyeing that convection north of Cuba but didn't want to make a new topic.

Wave axis near the Yucatan along with a little surge in tropical moisture is firing some convection. Nothing at the surface at this time. :wink:
