Looks like a depression
1. Well defined LLC
2. convection

I'd expect it to strengthen into a tropical storm tonight and peak around 50-55 knots.

A ScatSat pass at 22:30Z showed quality-controlled winds of 30 knots, with the strongest winds in the southeastern semicircle. Within the more uncertain convection there are higher sampled winds of 35 to 40 knots, though these have been automatically flagged as being more uncertain data points.

Wow. The latest GFS is very aggressive with 90Q, bringing it to near hurricane strength.

The sounding shows a deep warm core, with a minimum pressure of 988 mb and maximum sustained winds of at least 55 kt. This is not your ordinary borderline SATL system.

This thing has great outflow. A hurricane is definitely possible, in my opinion.

This is probably close to tropical storm strength within my opinion.

The system has developed into a classical curved band structure with good outflow both equatorward and poleward supported by a well-positioned anticyclone aloft. At this point, I think it's clear we're looking at a bona fide tropical cyclone in the South Atlantic. The local environment remains favorable for intensification and we may see continued improvement throughout the day under modest wind shear (5-15 kt) and warm sea surface temperatures above 28C.

ASCAT found 35 kt wind vectors under the southeastern convective blob so it is a weak TS now, but the circulation is still a bit elongated as visible satellite images also suggest.

Looks 100% tropical. GFS takes it down to 993mb. Probably one of the most well-organized tropical cyclones in the Southern Atlantic. If it keeps up we could be looking at the 2nd ever recorded hurricane in the SATL.

JTWC/NHC still have it as 90Q, but this is the first SATL Tropical Storm since 2010!

A disturbance to the NW of Iba also has a nice spin, better visible on a loop

It's odd to see them use a frontal cyclone model for Iba in the surface analysis. They're must be used to placing fronts on any type of low.

Actually the system with the fronts is to the south, it confused me too.Iba is north of there at 20 latitude :D :D
