Re: GOM

Several of the local meteorologists in the area discussed the possibility of something slowly developing in the GOM from the broad area of low pressure SE of New Orleans... Supposedly it's just going to sit stationary in the GOM for the next couple of days....


There is no convection associated with the system at the present time, however, a hugh blob of convection has developed tonight NE of the area over land near the AL, GA, FL borders.... Now if this blob was in the GOM tonight it would be getting all kinds of attention...

Pressure also continue to remain relatively high, so like HF, I'm not sure what mechanism, if any, will be the ultimate trigger to get something cranking.... maybe persistence will win out with this system... time will tell....
