I thinks it's too far away to be associated with TD (Brett wanabee) circulation but hey its possible I guess.

I think it's a squall line.

I'm talking about the blob NW of Yucatan over 300 miles away from the TD.

Remember with "tropical storm" Bret over the Gulf it is making the enviroment over a large area unstable. In which case most areas of the Gulf are very favable with shear from 5 to 15 knots. This area of convection is likey your night time convection. But who knows it could happen.

Yeah, that's what I was referring to.....someone earlier posted that they thought it was a squall line, and I agree.

Yes, for a squall line (which is what I'm pretty sure it is anyway) or blob or whatever it is, it does have some nice thunderstorms to go with it.

Yeah, I agree. Looks like our average squall line. Hopefully wont affect the steering of Bret too much.

From the 8:05pm TWD:

THE GULF OF MEXICO...
SEE SPECIAL FEATURE ABOVE. IN ADDITION A SURFACE TROUGH HAS
MOVED N INTO THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO WITH A CONSIDERABLE
AMOUNT OF MOISTURE. THE TROUGH EXTENDS FROM ALABAMA NEAR 30N89W
TO THE SW GULF NEAR 22N95W. PATCHES OF SCATTERED MODERATE TO
STRONG CONVECTION ARE S OF THE TROUGH AXIS FROM 23N-28N BETWEEN
85W-91W. SIMILAR CONVECTION IS OVER THE BAY OF CAMPECHE FROM
18N-21N BETWEEN 89W-92W. SCATTERED MODERATE TO ISOLATED STRONG
CONVECTION IS OVER FLORIDA FROM 24N-29N BETWEEN 81W-83W. IN THE
UPPER LEVELS...A RIDGE AXIS EXTENDS FROM THE BAY OF CAMPECHE
NEAR 21N93W TO BEYOND N FLORIDA AT 31N82W. SIGNIFICANT UPPER
LEVEL MOISTURE COVERS THE GULF EXCEPT FOR THE IMMEDIATE TEXAS
COAST. EXPECT THE SURFACE TROUGH TO MOVE NW TOWARDS THE TEXAS
COAST IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. ALSO EXPECT BRET TO MAKE
LANDFALL.
