The shortwave IR loop shows it well and quikscat shows a closed low. It is close to a depression at least IMO. If it maintains or stregthens in the next day then I think it will advisories will be issued again. Ive seen worse called depressions.

No one is arguing that there isn't a closed low, but you need a lot more than a closed low to be a depression. There isn't near enough convection around the low for NHC to upgrade this. The last thing they want to do is upgrade it and then have to downgrade it a 2nd time. You can be assured that they will be very cautious with upgrading this system.

I agree, NHC will very cautious in re-upgrading. Its better organized than it was 24 hours ago, but its still got a ways to go.
I think it will be at least a couple of days, if not longer, before we see this go back to depression, if at all.

By the way, this quickscat imager IS nearly 24 hours old. Check the time out at the bottom.
