Pretty much my thoughts too Steve. It needs to wrap the convection around the center, and a delay till tomorrow morning would not surprise me since it is still near the CV Islands, but I am going with an 11pm call for now with a caveat that I can change my mind if I am wrong.

I'll go ahead and say TD by sometime tommorow afternoon, strongest winds are on the southern side(entrained in most of the deep convection, i'll wait for that to get into the center).... strongest winds around center appear to be 25-30 knots on southern side and 20-25 knots on the northern side, getting very clost to TD classification. If it continues to develop then it will most likely stear out to sea, if it stays weak then the flow is W-WNW and it could be a player for the east coast in the coming days.
MY bet is out to sea-only because it seems to be developing nicely.
Well, according to a number of ship observations around this system, it's already a TD. The question is, then, how long will the NHC wait to upgrade it? Convection does seem to be increasing, and there is obvious banding now. They well may upgrade it within the hour. Or, they may sit on it ovenight to see if it can maintain the convection.
Exactly wxman.. It all depends on the NHC mood lol... Like you said TD now, but will they wait till tommorow, to make sure they dont upgreade a system and then it fizzle out 12 hours later again... I said upgrade it.. If it walks like a duck, then call it a duck..
