Not at all surprising really given there has been some convection on the low over the last 6hrs. coming off very far north though at 16.4N, its going to have to drop latitude to do anything it seems. Very high chance of a recurve with this one I feel.

The low is not shallow at all.

[KWT]

Yep Hurakan the low is actually quite impressive in terms of its structure just a little lacking in convection. i wonder what duirection its heading in right now?

To comment on something from the other thread, why the hell would Dolly stop this being named? Come on, the NHC aren't going to not name something just because there is another storm.

i was not Implying that..I was saying if Dolly were not there this would have been an invest yesterday...Simple as that

[Cryomaniac]

I still don't see how it makes a difference.

[cycloneye]

HURAKAN,do you have the most recent pic as you have many kinds of sat pics?

[DESTRUCTION5]

I still don't see how it makes a difference.

It doesnt..Its way far out and they are busy with more important systems is my point..

[KWT]

I don't think Dolly had anything to do with this, the reason it wasn't an invest yesterday because there wasn't really any convection whilst this morning we have much deeper convection with this system compared to before.

Come on..When there was nothing going on they named invest that was a naked cirrus cloud that went into SA...LOL

This pass was early this morning around 4:59 AM EDT

[KWT]

Not really there was convection present with it and so they put an invest with it, there was nothing on this invest, nothing at all hence why they waitied till it gained a better presentation before putting an inves ton it...besides whats the rush anyway...mind you Cape Verde does need to watch closely.

An INVEST is declared when the NHC wants to run models. Nothing more, nothing less — any system could technically be an INVEST if the NHC asked for it. Organisation and convection are not what actually determines invest designations.

More like 2:59 am, Luis. 6:59 UTC.

[Thunder44]

The map below shows it will soon (if it hasn't already) be moving over SST's below 26C. At this time, I don't see it having much potential. It will probably stay out in the Atlantic too:

Danny in 2003 was a very northern system that was not able to organize until it was already in the subtropics. 97L may have the same destiny.
