WHY??????????
If you will go back and look at the recon reports this morning, there would be absolutely no doubt in your mind that they should keep it classified as subtropical. The "eye" core temperatures were a mere 20 to 22 degrees Celcius or 60 to 68 degrees fahrenheit. In order to be classified as "tropical", we need to see eye core temperatures a little closer to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, if I am not terribly mistaken.
