So Vince is gonna be a puny subtropical storm?

I'm pissed. With that name, I expected much more. I expected Wilma to be this type of storm. Hopefully it will die out before they can name it.

It should then we will be one away from the season names finishing

I am actually very happy Tammy, and now probably Vince are/will be weak storms. Have we not had enough destruction for one year? Time for season over soon, hopefully,

I'm a little surprised that this got classified as a depression. It just seems to be a blow up of convection on the north side of an upper level low. I don't think this is going to develop into anything. And even if it does develop, I don't think that it could possibly come all the way west to hit the U.S. as some meteorologists are saying now. If this was a month ago, maybe...but we're approaching the middle of October and the upper level westerly winds will probably shear it or steer it away from the U.S.

The blowup as you call it is baroclinic thus the sub-tropical classification. Tammy was also sub-tropical but became warm core later. This time of year if you see pressures falling or the T ratings going up without deepening convection over the center almost always means the storm is sub-tropical.

I was so hoping we wouldn't get to Wilma,but now it looks like a good bet before the end of October. Let the jokes begin YABBA DABBA DOO

And then alpha and beta and then it gets crazy....

I highly doubt that, did you take a look at all the shear?

I agree, Vince is a formidable-sounding name. At the very least it needs to be a proper fish hurricane, if not some fierce Caribbean tropical storm that sideswipes some vulnerable area, like Haiti or Guatemala, and unleashes enormous floods. That's the sort of thing I'd envision of Vince. It's just a scary name, because of how hard the V sound is. Rita and Stan both sounded formidable before they ever formed, and Tammy fits as a weakish rainmaker, IMO. It's all just part of the personification of a storm. However, 96L definitely needs to be upgraded, and that's not a particularly legendary life for Vince either. If it doesn't become Vince either, perhaps that wave south of ex-SubTropical Depression #22 will become more of a headliner. (Preferably in the "Tropical Storm Vince gives everyone a good scare and downs some trees" way)

Wilma just has so much psychological impact that I'd hope for it to at least be a mid-ocean hurricane.
