I was trying to point out that this was a cold core area of low pressure. I was not trying to insult either one you and I apologize if you took it that way. From now on if you are trying to find out if a system is of warm or cold core in nature by way of forecast models please check out this page, it has helped me learn a lot so far. http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cyclonephase/

Thanks SouthFlorida, and Cycloneye I think you should put a star next to "14- May 15= EPAC hurricane season starts." to indicate it has already passed.
