This clearly shows a LLCC! With winds around 30 to 25 knots...

Surface charts show it! http://www.dhn.mar.mil.br/chm/meteo/pre ... 050800.jpg

imho More likely just a strong low associated with a frontal boundry and a enhanced pressure gradient from the 1022 and 1030 highs, The qscat has a elonged circulation, the sat pic clearly shows frontal boundry associated and the surface map also has frontal boundries in the area.
I like it though..working on your observational skills before the start of the season. :D

Not every low pressure on planet Earth is tropical & worthy of getting a name.
