Wow I was just asking about that ball of convection.

I wasn’t expecting they came up an invest with this

If I had to guess, this was a combo of an ULL and Lanes outflow

Looks mostly mid-level, but there is at least a slight surface perturbation with it (at right side of RGB loop).

Looks pretty damn suspicious. Are any models picking up on this?

Buoy obs under the convection... pretty good chance this is already a TC

Philippe Papin agrees with your assessment:

Follow up on invest #95C. We are once again remarkably lucky that a #buoy was directly in its path.

Buoy 51004 recorded 1003hPa min SLP, sustained #TS force winds, & now is finding SSW winds that have veered sharply from NE 1 hour ago.

#95C is likely a #TropicalStorm.

By the way you can see it on long range radar.. quite possibly a TD.

As if Hurricane Lane wasn't enough, holy cow!
I sure hope people in Hawaii aren't taking the threat for terrible rains and floods lightly. Wow, this thing could even mess with Lane's track a bit, but surely might add to the moisture and enhance the rain potential through 8/25. Gonna be an interesting 36 hours ahead.
