lack of convection probably the problem
The overall satellite presentation of 91 has improved dramatically. However, there still isn't any significant, deep convection firing over the center of the wave. I think that's why the TWO isn't worded more strongly, and until we get more storminess -- which could happen at any time, I might add -- I doubt 91 will get upgraded

One quick cautionary note:
1. 91L pulsed down at almost the same exact time yesterday and people were writing off the wave. This is not uncommon with weak systems...the middle of the day is the diurnal minimum. Other than the lack of current deep convection...91L has an excellent presentation in visible imagery.
2. The system has slowed some and is now moving around 17 knots. This will allow it to better organize as it was moving at 22 knots yesterday.
I guess that's 2 notes.

That's Wednesday August 4 is the possible Gulfstream IV flight but remember that this does not fly into the system, it samples the environment around the system to help with forecasting tracking information.
Also remember that the flights do not operate further east than 55W which is where the system is expected to be tomorrow evening.
The recon flights are tentatively schedule for 2pm Wednesday.
