There is a midlevel low over N central Florida and is forecasted to strengthen over the next day or 2... Area your seeing is thunderstorm convergence over the warm waters on then end of a old front. This is being forecasted to form and drift W into the gulf...but its not tropical or fully tropical.. More of a midlevel flow as it will have a upper low cyclone present and not a anti for exhaust.
Ingrid might come back some in a couple of days and still mositure and a low might come N south of cuba in a few days also as the above mentioned moves into the central GOM. Once it gets into the central gulf..more tropical characteristics could take place.. .and there is a chance this could become a pure tropical storm or hurricane down the road as a weak ridge remains over the SE U.S.

A nice change for mid September:
CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS OVER THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN SEA HAVE
DIMINISHED. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE NOT FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT IN
THIS AREA OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

Thanks Scottsvb. We are home schooling four children and my oldest daughter is getting a good education this season on synoptic meteorology from the experts and enthusiest in these forums as they discuss hurricane formations, strengths and track forcasting. She had picked out the disturbance this morning and starting asking questions. The discussions in here are far and above more informative than what she could ever get from a 10th grade text book and it is much like a live-action Florida Virtual school course.

Flhurricane is a good site...though we do have a few wishcasters that will think everythings going to develop...Im sure you can figure out over time who they could be.
Even though we have alot of good Mets or just good intelligent people giving their takes on things and good info...Im sure the 10th grade weather book has the good basic facts.

Scott, the remains of Ingrid do not look healthy enought to survive, the low is no longer a tight circulation but highly elongated, and largly non-existent on the western side. BUT the pattern is changing in the W. Carribean and the GOM as ridging becomes dominant ove the central Gulf coast. I too noted the low in north central Florida peninsula and it is in the lower to mid levels, IMO....if this were over water an invest might be in order..(see Jeff Masters blog today which suggested the hunters are already alerted for later this week). Also the wave along 70 south of 20 has some cyclonic motion near Hispanola.
Need to keep a watch for Thursday or so.

Yeah Ingrids chances are very low... my main area is what you stated in the carribean. The area over florida isnt in the LLs just in the mid. With bad upper level enviroment throughout the SW Atlantic and into the Carribean...conditions dont favor really anything until the central gulf in a few days. Chances I give Ingrid is 20% The midlevel circulation will move SE and develop a small low near the FL straits and move W. Cold Air aloft should warm and we will get a midlevel ridge over the SE ahead of a trough over the upper plains. This should let the system get alot better organized as it moves west thru the gulf. I give that a 60%. Im still glancing at energy staying in the carribean with lower pressures but will shear from the above system hamper development or not is 1 of a few questions... 30% chance on this.

The Canadian Model is at it again. It's trying to form a hurricane off the Florida coast by Thursday. All of it's tropical systems get steroid injections. 
Note: This is not going to happen.

I go by the patterns and steering. I do see something hitting the USA in a few days.. but it may not be all that and a bag of chips. Models are popping on and off on that GOM storm.. I don't have much confidence on it developing yet but conditions do look favorable. For the storm off the east coast, the is not the only game in play.. hints at a possible cyclone there and the which I do admit, it has done a good job this year on tropical systems, shows a tropical storm nearing my coastline then in to the GOM.. This scenario is NOT out of the realm. I back my proof up with scientific facts, which proves I am NOT a wishcaster.

Great point about Humberto. If I remember correctly, I was reading in some places "no development" from this system. Watched that system
for several days. Tagged an invest, then not an invest, then an invest again and well, we all know what happened with him. I got a first
hand look at what happened with Humberto. The models are great, but ultimately, the storms "have a mind of their own" so to speak.
Most important, things change daily. So, let's just wait and see what plays out. Nothing wrong with making predictions though.

Me me ME - I did.
Ha Ha.
Well I did...especially after Allan's continual forecasts for Humberto turned out to be correct (for the most part).
The Season With No Reason simply came to mind and I tell you, that's certainly what I'm observing so far in 2007!

You hit the nail on the Head. 
Predictions are fine... as long as they are in the Forecast Lounge
They will most probably get booted in the Talkback Forum.
Especially with a Landfalling Tropical Cyclone.

Oh yes, I enjoy reading predictions from certain posters I trust.
In fact, I've been visiting this site a little over 2 years and just a few months ago figured out where this lounge place is - ha ha.
Many of my posts were sent to the graveyard, or moved to another location (some I never ever found!).
It is easy to post in the incorrect area as many of us inadvertently and unkowningly do.
This site is so chocked full of information and links, it takes quite a while to navigate.
So I don't post that much and have resorted to PMs.

While waiting on the satellites to come out of their eclipse. I checked the MY tropics page and...
Ingrid appears to be back!
The 0530Z sat shot is poor as it's from another satellite. But Ingrid-appears to have out run the shear and is in a nice round shape with outflow channels building.
Estimated position is 16N/ 60W or just east of the Island of Guadeloupe.
Perfect comma shape with around 270degrees of outflow channel.
This might be a problem. However I noticed data from a USAF Hurricane Hunter in the St Croix area on Sunday. So they may have a plane or two close by.
see attachment for 0530Z sat shot
