This makes sense, but is that it? Basically, I guess I'm asking if there is a developmental difference between a wave coming into the tropics vs. a system that seems to develop out of nowhere in or around the gulf.

I think systems that just kind of originate out of no where like that take some time to transition into tropical systems. I'm sure that doesn't explain it completely but that is the way I understand it.
