I continue to monitor the NE GOM, and notice the area of showers and TStorms has persisted and become concentrated. It continues to present a radar signature which is consistent with a cyclonic turn.
The synoptic discription is this area is at the base of a surface trough across the region and the precipitation is enhanced by difluent flow. It is not showing signs of moving or dissipating, however, and to me remains an area of suspicion, especially given the models which predict development in the GOM in the next 100 hours.
