Current WV imagery does indicate cyclonic circulation in the Middle GOM. Centered near 25N/ 88W. It appears to be a mid-level circulation, and I'm not certain at this point if it has closed off.
Wind directions from the Slidell, Mobile, and Eglin NWS radar profiles indicate westerly winds from the surface to around 3000 feet. And Northerly winds above 3000 feet. More indicative of the weak, unusual for July, front poised near the Northern Gulf Coast.

Buoy observations are showing light winds with pressures below 29.92 in Hg.
Not much to look at for now. Enjoy the peace and quiet.
