Chad if not tonight then they will wait for the first visbles to make sure where the low is and that means at 5 AM or 11 AM.

If they wait for visibles they will call a TD or TS till 11am, cuz the first visibles out there usually don't come out till around 9am EDT.

What a joke! This isn't a wave! It has a clear LLC. Quickscat shows a 40-50kt circulation as of 7:10Z last night. It has been a TD since it moved off Africa, now it's a TS. The NHC will most likely ignore it for a while longer then act surprised that "Juan" has formed all of a sudden.

Thunder, the visible image will be out well before 9AM EST, probably more like 5AM EST, because the world rotates, and the sun comes up just off Africa much sooner than it does on the EC of the US.

IMO the NHC has been way too conservative this year. Why, I dunno; but to me it appears that they have been.
