It isinteresting to see the improved organization on 98L this morning. Fish spinner for sure, but the tropics are definately starting to wake up a bit.

I know I will be watching the Gulf of Mexico with great interest this week. Still rubbing my eyes this morning from a long nights slumber, so I really haven't had a chance to look at many models. However, in viewing this mornings satellite images, it does appear that a general area of low pressure is forming in the Gulf already....So there may be something towatch before the late week period. Give or take a few miles, the area is about 200 miles west of SW FLorida or about 250 miles southof Apalachicola. If the area, gets better organized throught the next 24 hours, itmay become a pointof further discussion in the forum.
