Oh, that's nothing, just HENRI forming! Looks like it has very good outflow. Remember back in 1995 when the NHC was so busy with Luis, I think, that Marilyn developed an eye way over by Africa before it was classified as a TD? I think it was Marilyn..

I couldn't wait to see what the NHC said to get out of that one on the next tropical outlook. I remember they said a "rain-free central area appeared to be forming" and they called it a TS with 45kt winds!

Wee-ooo,who said the season was quiet? I was AFK for two hours, and Bam, we have another. I agree the quick-scat shows TS winds. I'm surprised no invest.
