After looking at a few satellite loops, I think its safe to say that the swirl coming off the Mexican Coast isnt just an illusion, it definetly looks like a mid-upper level feature swirling its way into the Gulf. Only problem as ya'll have been discussing is the amount of shear that exist. Unless the shear weakens rapidly I dont expect this feature will cause any problems as far as development goes. I hate these early season blob's that are always around. They have to be the hardest things to actually forecast. They can develop or go poof in a matter of hours. But thats what makes trackin storms and hurricanes so much fun. Good Day All
