Hmmm...Well, looking at the morning visibles, the central Florida Low was basically absorbed into the main circulation of the SE Gulf and dissappeared before daybreak. However, the large and overall rotation that was noted last night over the SE Gulf off of SW Florida continues to persist. With some smaller vorticies embedded and rotating the main gyre. This is the overall circulation pattern (SE Gulf) that cancelled out the central Florida Low, but is probably the area to watch.
While the NHC 8:00 Discussion is a guide, it was likely written around 5:00AM under the NHC Product Timelines that I have come to understand. So at the timeof drafting, the Central Florida Low was probably still around. Since that time, I the focus has been shifting to the overall low pressure area in the SE GoMex.
