It looks very tropical in my opinion but it's Brazil's call at this point.

It's also on the NHC floater - unusual that the same area is active again for the second or third time in the past 10 winter/spring periods...

Me thinks maybe this needs to become a recognized basin with a set of names and naming system similar to the one in use for the Central Pacific.

Personally think we still need more evidence of these things happening often enough to justify a new basin...if anywhere could probably justify it, its probably surprisingly the Med...they have a good 3-4 systems a year that if were in the Gulf of Mexico would be highly suspect...

From Wunderground.com Dr.Masters-
"An unusual low pressure system that came close to becoming a tropical storm is in the South Atlantic, a few hundred miles east of the coast of Brazil. The Brazilian Navy Hydrographic Center has officially named the system Subtropical Storm "Arani", but I'm not sure the low would have been named by NHC, since Arani has somewhat of a loose circulation and limited heavy thunderstorm activity. The storm is expected to move slowly eastward out to sea, and does not pose a threat to South America. The latest run of the GFDL model shows little development of Arani, and the storm is now encountering a frontal system, which is bringing 20 - 30 knots of wind shear. It is unlikely that Arani will become a tropical storm. Some runs of the GFDL last weekend were predicting Arani would intensify into a Category 3 hurricane; that's the first time I've even seen such a prediction for a South Atlantic storm."
