NRL is tracking it as 90L and 90Q the same time. So one can post here it as 90L or 90Q...

A bit more convection around the centre now. Note I've changed the letter myself rather than NRL doing it.

Dan, this may be old news here, but last year there was a "summit" of sorts down in Brazil with representatives from the U.S. and Brazil met/research communities. Both sides of the debate were argued and heard. To make a long story short, the overwhelming consensus was that "Catarina" was indeed a hurricane.

Here is a link to the conference summary:

Thanks Tony, I had heard something about that conference a while ago, but didn't follow up on it at the time. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Something tells me we might get another at least distrabance this season...But will see. I personally think this was a depression if not weak tropical storm. Small not to deep systems like this our stronger then they look.

29/42 I'm praying for it to redevelop its convection. This thing could of become our second hurricane if it was more faverable. :cry:

Convection is on the increase....Almost back to where it was another 6 hours of development. COME ON STORM SOILD YOUR SELF NEXT TO THE other 3. I know you deserve it already but for some it will take a little more.

It appears that it has a strong cirulation but the freaking shear keeps blowing the convection away.
