Tropical Storm Earl, Gaston the remanent low, and Gulf of Mexico blob: September 5, Update A

Shortest update yet!
 
Tropical Storm Earl:
He's not really a tropical storm anymore. This is my last entry on Earl.
 
Gaston, the remanent low:
He's still got circulation but convection is still struggling. The center is at 17N, 50.5W, heading WNW. Once he gets out of the dry air then he'll make a move - it looks like convection is picking up. I'd call him a Tropical Depression at this point.
 
Gulf of Mexico Blobette:
This has convection and now has some vorticity, so it could develop into a storm before making landfall. It's moving NW at 5-10 mph. It's quite disorganized though, so it is difficult to find a center point. Next name is Hermine (pronounced her-MEEN).
 
That's it for today. :-)
Ciao,
J.
