With the GHCC server being down at Marshall Spaceflight Center. I've learned that is nearly impossible to find satellite images that are less than an hour old. Which by some standards is fast!

While checking the Tropics this morning I noticed the latest QuickScatter pass over the Eastern Gulf of Mexico contained a low level circulation of about 25 knots. This is located due west of Tampa and south of the Appalachicola/ Big Bend area.

Quickscatter (time sensitive)

Visible Image at 1215Z ( 9AM EDT)

Other areas:
Trough in Western Caribbean has reinitiated convection near the Belize Coast.

Mesoscale system off of the Corpus Christi,TX area. Appears to be connected to a mid level Low. Based on the New Orleans Vertical wind directions... SE at the 4000 ft level, and westerly at the surface.

Convection beginning to appear near the Low circulation north of the Bahamas.

Medium sized tropical wave has just entered the Eastern Atlantic Ocean off of Africa at 1200Z. The EUMETSAT IR imagery gives a better look at the size. However the system is between two sat sectors and is a bit hard to define the total satellite signature.
