Re: GERT

Not exactly. Looking at 3-day satellite loops over the region, Gert's remnants dissipated over central Mexico, with the energy getting caught up in the trough passing across the central/eastenr US over a day ago. Any remnant of Gert that would be in the Pacific now would've come across a day or more ago.

What you see now in the Gulf of California is the remnants of a mesoscale convective complex that formed along the Mexican west coast last night. There was one the day before that, and the day before that as well; in fact, they are quite common this time of year and can occasionally spin-up mid-level vortices (as last night's might've done). No Gert remnants around, though.
