It is ironic that the 2pm NHC update increases the odds substantially for development and at the same time the bullish Euro comes out and for the first time doesn't develop it at all.  I wonder how much weight the models put in how it looks at initiation?  Convection is finally over the center and if the LLC can clear Cuba you would think it would develop?

Let it develop first and then let's see what solutions the models come up with.

It's currently organizing quite quickly. Looks like that is also moving a little south due west because of this current organization trend. In any case, it's heading to a less hostile environment.

yup, the structure looks very disorganized and its going into a area of low OHC, but as long as sheer is let up anything is better!

NHC has the forecasted intensity so low because of THE KING

The depression will be moving through a marginal environment for
intensification during the next day or so, with vertical shear of
15 to 20 kt.  As a result only slow strengthening is expected in
the short term.  Later on, the environment may improve a little as
the shear is forecast to decrease somewhat and become
southwesterly, which should allow for a little more strengthening.
However, there are mixed signals in the model guidance, with the
ECMWF now showing the cyclone dissipating in the Gulf, while the
GFS delays development until 4-5 days.  Much of the tropical
cyclone guidance is more aggressive.  Given this uncertainty, the
NHC intensity forecast is quite conservative and shows the system
peaking at 45 kt, below all the explicit intensity guidance in
consideration of the negative signal from the ECMWF.  Needless to
say, the confidence in the intensity forecast is even lower than
usual for this system.

I believe this has great potential to become a Hurricane tracking into the Big Bend area. Environment is becoming more conducive with each passing hour. GOM is (bath-water) rocket-fuel warmth. The 7H circulation has been intact for days. Closed surface circulation now with co-located storms, less shear and lowering pressure. The wanna-be in the end could be a surprise in which many wrote-off. Whatever becomes, it will be fun to watch evolve.

Not here it won't!

6pm.  New convection firing over the top of LLC.  I marked it with an X.  Outflow is becoming better east and south but don't know how much of that is diurnal convection from the islands.  Models now have to play catchup but it looks like its becoming a big system.

This is looking like a potentially massive system atm. Of course it could be diurnal convection as you stated so it will be interesting to see how TD 9 fairs overnight and into the morning.
