That area came out of Mexico early this morning but nothing to open eyebrows about development.That is on the tail end of a front but it has to persist for more than 24-36 hours to then take a second look.

Looks like shear is ripping it apart. Give it to me in a month and I could get excited!

Yes David weakening slowly the area as shear and not so warm sst's are doing their thing however there may be a very weak low embedded there NW of the Yucatan penninsula if you look closely at this visible loop but as you said by june things may change to more favorable in the GOM.

Noticed that BOC action, but figured the shear was pretty impressive right now. Still, another little preview perhaps?

You might compare these two images:

Very similar setup to Larry last September. 200mb winds are 25-40 kts from the southwest across the BOC and pressures are a few millibars higher now. Chances of tropical development are extremely remote, but not completely out of the question.

Excellent comparison there Chris. That was really cool. Hope you got some more of those where it came from for the rest of the season!
