Beginning to see the low level wind fields supportive of a surface or near-surface Low pressure.
Cyclonic circulation is noted on the NWS wind profiles at New Orleans/ Slidell, Mobile, Eglin AFB and Tallahassee Radars.
Winds speeds are up to at least 30 knots at 15,000 feet at this time, while 1000ft wind speeds are in the 5- 10 knot range at the above stations.

Wind speeds at buoys 42039 and 42040 have been up to 20-25knts but have dropped off a bit in the last two hours.
