Not that anyone needs it.... we now have something new in the Bay of Campeche to keep an eye on. The TPC has shown some interest in this so all should be watching along the gulf coast...again.
There is a slow moving system there which is moving slowly northward and it has the potential to get organzied a bit maybe by Saturday (perhaps sooner). It would suggest a possible Tropical storm later, but we'll watch.

Satellite imagery from 0545Z to 0815Z indicates the convection in the SW GOM has increased in size and intensity. 0815Z IR imagery also indicates a marked increase in the lightning in the two convective areas.
Earlier mid-level circulation observed near 23.0N and 95.0W.
Latest imagery showing a circulation more to the SW of the 23.0/ 95.0 location.
Long awaited upper trough is moving into W Texas at this time,4AM CDT, and is forecast to continue moving slowly eastward.
See the above link for watches and warnings in your area.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
530 AM EDT THU OCT 7 2004
FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE. THIS SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE SLOWLY NORTHWARD WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT DAY OR .
A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH NEARING THE LESSER ANTILLES IS PRODUCING CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS THAT EXTEND NORTHWARD OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE HIGHLY UNFAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT.
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL STORM FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH FRIDAY.
FORECASTER AVILA

Thank you 
Flood Watches have been also posted for counties in Central and South Central Texas. They've been up for a couple of days already...
Hazardous Weather statements are up for all of Texas except for the counties surrounding El Paso.
They keep telling us we're going to have a gullywasher here, but so far in N Austin we've just seen scattered showers. Well except for the cats and dogs and rabbits we saw Sat night 
But today's the day they predicted the highest chance for heavy rain...

Looks like we have the makings of a tropical system. Of course, the big debate is whether will decide whether it is truly tropical, a hybrid, or extra-tropical. As long as has it as 95L, there remains a chance it will be christened Matthew. In any event, heavy rains and flooding for Texas are likely, and the center should remain off the coast while being drawn northeast and east...eventually forecast to "landfall" near Pensacola, of all places

This reminds me of TS Josephine in 1996. It will be a very lop-sided system, with most of the rain on the eastern side. It will probably start becoming as it moves across the NE Gulf, and will therefore have a large wind field. I doubt this will make it to hurricane strength, but it has the potential to be a strong TS. A typical October system.
On a side note, winds are 20-25mph here in Central Florida today. Pressure is high, and there is a strong gradient between the high pressure over us and the developing tropical system.
God Bless,
Ronn

It also reminds me a little of TS Larry last year. As I remember that system hung around in the BOC for a few days getting itself together.

Landfall near Pensacola, eh? I'll refrain from uttering the obligatory cliche of "we don't need this" because the point is obvious.
I don't expect a major system, but I won't let my guard down either. That said, even a minor storm could wreak havoc on folks who are depending on simple blue tarps to keep rainwater out of their homes. With so much debris still piled up around us, as well as damaged structures and trees that could easily become debris, the danger is very real. I don't mean to sound alarmist, I just want to underscore just how fragile and tenuous the situation is for folks who have already endured mother nature's wrath. We've still got a lot of hurricane season left.

Not sure about TS status. We got some shear but also some good SST's. I don't think there is much question of the general track whatever it becomes

Well I think the system down there is still a TD but I dont think it will really develop as westerly sheer will preclude anything.
If it does then a movement along with the is forcasted.

\Ex`tra*trop"ic*al\, a.
Beyond or outside of the tropics. --Whewell.
From Webster's 1913 dictionary...pretty lame definition if you ask me... 
Extratropical is a term used in advisories and tropical summaries to indicate that a cyclone has lost its "tropical" characteristics. The term implies both poleward displacement of the cyclone and the conversion of the cyclone's primary energy source from the release of latent heat of condensation to baroclinic (the temperature contrast between warm and cold air masses) processes. It is important to note that cyclones can become and still retain winds of hurricane or tropical storm force.

Part of tally AFD...
.SHORT TERM...AFTER ONE MORE DAY OF DRY CONDITIONS WITH THE RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATING TO THE NE...UNSETTLED WEATHER IS ON THE WAY
FOR THE WEEKEND. THERE ARE STILL SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE
ETA AND ...WITH BOTH MODELS SHIFTING TO A MORE WESTWARD TRACK OF
THE GULF LOW ON THE 12 UTC RUNS. AFTER BEING VERY CONSISTENT WITH AN
E-NE MOVING SYSTEM ALONG THE GULF COAST...THE HAS SHIFTED MUCH
MORE DRAMATICALLY THAN THE ETA...AND NOW BRINGS IT NORTHWARD THROUGH
LOUISIANNA. ALTHOUGH THIS SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE IT WILL EVOLVE IN A VERY
BAROCLINIC MANNER...THERE IS STILL SOME POTENTIAL FOR SUB-TROPICAL
DEVELOPMENT WHICH THE HURRICANE CENTER WILL BE WATCHING FOR VERY
CLOSELY. SHOULD THE SYSTEM MOVE INLAND TO OUR WEST...WE WILL END UP
IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH A MUCH BETTER CHANCE FOR CONVECTION WITH
LESS OR A SHORTER PERIOD OF ISENTROPIC LIFT. THEREFORE...PLAN ON
NUDGING THE GRIDS IN THAT DIRECTION...WHICH WILL RESULT IN LOWER
POPS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.
.LONG TERM...CURRENT THINKING IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE FOR THE
SYSTEM IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ALONG THE GULF
COAST AND BEGIN TO AFFECT THE CWA AS EARLY AS SATURDAY...WITH A SLOW
EASTWARD MOTION THEREAFTER. THEREFORE...UNSETTLED CONDITION MAY LAST
INTO TUESDAY. DEPENDING ON ITS FINAL TRACK...THIS SYSTEM MAY PRODUCE
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THIS SITUATION AS THERE IS A STRONG DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN AND
ETA. A STRONG COLD FRONT IS ALSO EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE CWA BY
LATE NEXT WEEK...AND IT COULD USHER IN MUCH DRIER AND COOLER AIR FOR
NEXT WEEKEND.

There is a 1009.5mb low now on the coast near Tampico Mx moving inland. There is a mid level reflection of this low just east of there by about 50-100miles offshore. This should be the end of the questionable TD. A baronclonic low should form off the Texas coast during the next day or so. This will move up over La over the weekend as it goes along the western end of a strong mid latitude ridge over the eastern U.S............................................
