Just comparing its appearance now vs. this morning, it looks no better organized. In fact, tops have been warming for the past few hours, an indication of weakening. So perhaps it already reached its peak. I can't see naming it without evidence of 39 mph winds, with convection decreasing, and the center not being beneath the convection.

That's a raw T number, Sandy... the CI is the number to pay attention to

I know, just wanted to show how elevated the raw number is compared to the other ones.

I was taking my History exam this morning, and while I was trying to concentrate on Germany in World War II, my teacher, who knows I love the weather, comes out and says we have our first Tropical Depression. I hated that lol.

We are human beings, no gods, no computers, and even gods and computers may fail. We all know that TC forecast is not an easy thing. Let's stop blaming the pro mets, something unusual always occurs. But anyway, we should respect all the opinions, professional or non-professional and no matter whether it sounds strange or not. "little chance", "dead" should not be easy words.

Back to TD 1, as an Asian, I may know little about the climatology of North Atlantic, but I personally think it is hard for the system to be named even with the aid of Gulf Stream and low wind shear, and it is being ejected to the NE with a moderate to high speed, it should have a slight chance to be named in the #2, if it still can't make it in #2, Ana will remain in the lista de espera.

Cooler SST and Dmin may be taking its toll.

Looks to me like the convection has dramatically decreased and the tops are blowing away. It might have run out of warm water.

It looks semi-healthy.. wouldn't be surprised if it gets upgraded at 5 or 11.

Its got to hold that convection for a little while longer I think before it gets upgraded but its certainly impressive considering it weren't even looking all that good at all yesterday, but it does look decent enough now!

Small system as well.

Considering the latitude and water temps, actually looking fairly healthy....appears to have low shear as there is at least the appearance of outflow in most directions as of the latest image. Going to be a td still at 5pm at a minimum.

That CI is still going up, if it can hold that 3 hour average of 2.5 we may well see Ana in the next 12hrs, of course big if but we may see our first named system soon. Whatever happens TD1 shouldn't last long.
