It just got designated along with Invest 92L.
A broad area of low pressure located over the south-central Gulf of
Mexico is producing a wide area of showers and thunderstorms. This
system has become better organized since yesterday, and a tropical
depression could form during the next few days while the low moves
slowly westward across the south-central and southwestern Gulf of
Mexico toward the coast of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.
 
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure
located over the south-central Gulf of Mexico have become more
concentrated since last night. Recent visible satellite imagery
indicates that the surface circulation associated with the low has
also become better defined. Environmental conditions appear
conducive for additional development, and a tropical depression is
likely to form during the next two or three days
while the low moves
slowly westward or west-southwestward toward the coast of Mexico.
Interests along the northeast coast of Mexico should monitor the
progress of this system.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

Odds up to 80/80. May have a NOAA reconnaissance aircraft investigate later today.

Showers and thunderstorms associated with a large low pressure
system located over the west-central Gulf of Mexico about 200 miles
east-northeast of Tampico, Mexico, is showing signs of organization.
Environmental conditions are conducive for a tropical depression to
form during the next day or so
while the low moves slowly westward
or west-southwestward toward Mexico. Interests along the

northeastern coast of Mexico should monitor the progress of this
system. A NOAA reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate

the disturbance this afternoon, if necessary.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

15” of rain possible. Also Texas sees some rain.
 
King EURO forecasted this 9 days in advance per Twitter.

Well from what I remember and can go look at in the models, the Euro sucked on this. It didn't even want it to develop. The ICON was persistent at developing it however. The ICON was also a lot stronger than the Euro, being around 1006. Yes the ICON was further north than reality, but that pressure is right on the dot. The Euro is nothing more than a weak swirl.
