Re: Gulf of Mexico System

Radar would put the location of the low, which is broad, in the GOM adjacent to Ft. Myers. Visible imagery would suggest somewhat SW of there. Earlier today I heard a report that the mid-level had entered the Gulf adjacent to Tampa. The key I guess will be if that mid-level can rotate over the other feature. There was (is ) plenty of thunderstorms along the SW Florida coast and lightening was active this a.m. which usually means intensification, or in this instance maturation.
