Western GOM feature

It appears, at this time, to be a mid level feature, or so small that the buoys are missing the data.
I've also checked the metars from the airports on the South Texas Coast and so far I don't see a wind or pressure indicator.
A drop in the pressure or increase in the wind speed.

Buoy 42002, the West GOM buoy is offline so we may be missing some important data.
There are ships in the area around 42002, but their data is delayed for security reasons.
