in the NE Gulf, interesting anyway - better than watching the thermometer rise  ;)

yeah I know, it's the CMC... & just a little green dot...







gridded marine shows nothing exciting...

2pm isn't excited either


...DISCUSSION...

GULF OF MEXICO...                                              
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CONTINUES TO SIT OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO
WITH AXIS EXTENDING ALONG 87W. THE UPPER TROUGH SUPPORTS A
STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF ALONG 31N87W 28N89W
28N95W 27N98W. A PRE-FRONTAL SURFACE TROUGH IS OUT AHEAD OF THE
FRONT ALONG 31N84W 25N90W. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS COVER MUCH OF THE AREA EAST OF THE SURFACE TROUGH
AND UP TO 80 NM WEST OF THE TROUGH AXIS. SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUE OVER MUCH OF FLORIDA. THIS ACTIVITY IS MAINLY IN THE
AREA OF STRONGEST DIFFLUENCE ALOFT. THE REMAINDER OF THE BASIN
IS FAIRLY CLEAR AT THIS TIME DUE TO DRY AIR ALOFT SINKING AROUND
THE WEST SIDE OF THE UPPER TROUGH. WINDS ARE MOSTLY LIGHT OVER
THE WESTERN GULF INCREASING UP TO 15 KT OVER THE EASTERN GULF.
SURFACE TROUGHING IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER THE GULF AND WILL
BEGIN TO MOVE WEST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. MOIST CONDITIONS
WILL REMAIN OVER MUCH OF THE EASTERN GULF.

but I'm still watching
