It looks very good but a lot of shear. look at a visual satellite loop and you can see it is a nice low that seems to be getting better organized. The 1-km GOES shoes the low and the onshore flow noth of the cape and the off shore winds all the way down in the keys

[Weatherwatcher98]

Shear or no Shear sat presentation is really good. Invest?
