Well, I could be on a limb here, but I think there is a very good chance for Alex (or at least a TD) in the Gulf this weekend, the Yucatan system is very impressive and just has that "look" (as Steve said)...both Steve and Jav (and Bobbi) are on it, I think we have a show starter. If I am wrong...hey, I am wrong!!

I'll call the ball...lets see if I land or have to bail out. Only inhibit may be proximity to land, if it gains a little latitude (which it seems to be doing) < watch out (no pun).

PS--not a slow start, average so far.....

Just looked ata close up loop, it appears a vorticity center may be developing over the central YP, moving WNW....next 24 hrs will tell the tale for development.....
