At 24/19Z, an unclassified tropical cyclone (probably a Tropical Depression) moved ashore at Cabo Rojo, Mexico, south of Tampico. The low level circulation was evident near 21.1N 97.6W at 24/20Z.

I am still noticing a flare up of convection in the area you have pointed out. There looks to be spin right along the coast drifting slowly northward, likely being pulled by the large upper-low to the north. Could it move back into the GOM
by rounding the base of the upper-low, or not?

It turns out that you were correct. During the night the low center drifted back to the east and at 25/12Z it was back at the coastline at 21.0N 97.6W - or just about the exact location that it first went ashore at yesterday afternoon. Wind at Tampico continues out of the ENE at 12-15 knots. The area has now been tagged as Invest 99L with almost no chance of development since the center is still over land.
Added: At 18Z the center has drifted northwest and was over land at approximately 21.6N 98.3W.
