But those strongest winds are about 120 miles east of the broad, weak center. It might still have a circulation, but winds within 50-100 miles of the center are likely below 20kts. And there's no convection within 120 miles of the center. Question is, would this qualify for a TD upgrade if it had been an open wave yesterday? Not without convection near the center. NHC will probably err on the side of caution and continue the advisories through tonight and have a look with visible imagery in the morning. Seems reasonable.
