Looking at the shear map, I can't see how this area of convection will get its act together.

As you can see here:

The SST's are in the 84D'Fahrenheit in the Carribean. In the GOM it's horrible. The water temperature are below 80 Degrees and with this blob moving Northward, I don't see it developping at all with the shear tendancy as of today. It may get its act tomorrow as the shear tends to be more favorable but the waters in the GOM is just not warm enough.

Here are some Buoy data's:
