GOM

I've widened the sat shot at the top of the page to permit viewing of what appears to be a secondary LOW forming in the Eastern GOM. Not enough data to determine what level it is at right now.

Front/ trough moving into the Northern GOM appears to have initiated a vortice in the area due south of Appalachicola. Near 26.0N/ 86.5W-quick estimate.

May be diurnal in nature... but it's unusual to see any convection of this nature on the backside of a tropical system.

Just something else to look at for now...
