UNISYS Infrared GOES East Satellite (click here for 12 hour loop - thank you)

The system is big and appears to have two separate areas of water vapor consolidation. It is easier to discern in infrared. There is the Gulf of Mexico consolidation nearer Mexico and then there is a second consolidation near the Bahamas. It is my opinion at this point either or both of the water vapor consolidations can develop into significant storms. The Gulf storm has the most potential the longer it remains over water.
