I started in the worst year possible: 2013. Hurricane Sandy was what got me interested in meteorology. However, I was pretty on-and-off when it came to tracking until late 2015 with Hurricane Joaquin.
Back to Epsilon, the experimental satellite estimate puts it at 40 kt. Let’s see if the 18z best track agrees.
I'm surprised you didn't quit after 2013 lol... I've always been interested in tracking weather, but since Im in Oklahoma it has always been tornadoes and severe weather, but when TD Bill came over my house I was like"Hmm I wonder what other storms are out there" and the rest is history. First 2 storms I tracked were Cat 4 Goni and Cat 5 Atsani in the WPAC, pretty insane storms and I've been tracking ever since.
In regards to Epsilon, I would think they will up the winds
Yep, up to 40 kt/998 mbar. Tropical Tidbits no longer says “remnants of Epsilon”.
Also, back in 2013, it thought Humberto ‘13 was the coolest thing, due to its stairstep track and regeneration.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.
