Looks like the convection that has fired up in the east-central Gulf of Mexico, along the trough is still move toward the east.
Wouldn't a trough in the central Gulf of Mexico at least slow down the disturbanace to the east of the Bahamas, if not nudge it more to the north?
I and I am sure many of you interested in the [tropical] meteorology like myself know that tropical systems move northward (in this hemisphere) when a boundary (such a front system) is to the disturbance's west.

I sure expect everything to move westward, but in reality it hasn't done so yet.
I didn't say "a turn to the north," I said "a nudge to the north."
The westerly flow in the Gulf of Mexico over Florida last week into the weekend is in the process of doing a 180º as the flow is transitioning to an easterly flow. I wouldn't discount a shift in direction, probably not a total opposite as what is happening now... although there is a cold front coming moving toward the nations midsection from the northwest. By the time the tropical disturbance makes it into the Gulf of Mexico this feature may have play a role with the movement of this developing low.
