The AI ensembles have perked up today on developing this disturbance. This is mostly mid-level activity, however it is clearly a robust circulation so if it can stay over water it may have enough time to work its way down to the surface and spin up a TC along the NE Gulf Coast. We are preparing to fly a LLI as early as Sunday.
Radar Update (3/29, 3:38 pm) | Right on schedule, isolated showers have begun to develop in the southern parishes late this afternoon. A few more may pop up over the next few hours.
