Weak surface low spinning in the southwest GOM looks slightly better organized overnight, but it will be most helpful to see the first couple of daylight frames. While in its current state this feature would be of little concern just about anywhere else, but to those in Texas, even an unclassified but realistically something very nearly like a weak tropical depression, is unwelcome. Pressures are still not substantially low, and were actually a fair bit lower yesterday afternoon when a surface circulation was readily apparent, but convection has been increasing back about the approximate center during the late overnight.
Anyway, just about anywhere else in the ocean or along the coast I wouldn't find reason to bring up such a feature, unless it was already Invest tagged and the topic of general discussion. But, again, given its proximity to already water-logged Texas, it seems only appropriate to give it some mention in the main thread. (Apparently NHC has locked on to this item as well, and given it some spotlighting in the 10:30 PM 8/25 TWO. However, the development of a significant tropical cyclone is not expected).
