Thanks for doing this HenkL. Just to make sure I don't misunderstand, can you explain the two numbers on each fix?

But they are finding NE and ENE winds where they should be S or SW...
It does not look like a surface circulation yet...

SW and W winds found...we have a TD now it appears...I'd say around 2:30 pm they will issue a special advisory for TD6 and issue Tropical Storm Watches and Warnings.

Last pass had the missing S and SE winds. Definitely a well-defined circulation. This should be upgraded - waiting for the NHC now.
