This is the 5:30 PM tropical weather outlook and it says that the front is not letting this system develop as otherwise it would do so already.

The strongest cold front yet hits the Gulf in 24 hrs. Look up north, the HIGHS today were in the low-mid 40s in southern Missouri and Kansas. That cold air is heading south toward the Gulf. Cold air advection should persist through Friday morning. Such an infusion of cold air won't help this thing become tropical.

IN other words it has a very small window to be tropical but that window is closing bigtime.

This system in the BOC has two chances of becoming a strong tropical storm or hurricane....slim and none, and none looks like a much better bet.

That's what I'm thinking JetMaxx. Time to start looking elsewhere, but I'm not turning my back on this one yet. I still think it may try to screw up my weekend vacation....
