A bit generous.

a recent scatterometer pass indicate that
the storm remains well-organized around a clear circulation center.
Subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates continue to
support an initial intensity of 45 kt, which is unchanged from the
prior advisory. However, this may be a bit generous based on the
late-arriving scatterometer pass.

Hmmm. What do these images imply for the strength? It seems very well organized for a TS though the convection isn't strong. Is this close to H strength? Last chance for that may be near DMAX tonight.

I'd estimate 55 knots...

They kept it at 45 knots with no further strengthening.

DMAX seems to be doing its thing with much colder cloud tops finally wrapping around the well defined center. What looks to me like sub -65C cloud tops are now covering the entire southern half of Don around the center. Note this from the 11PM NHC discussion:

"Don's structure appears quite healthy in the low-levels, per earlier 37 GHz microwave imagery which showed evidence of a closed cyan ring. However, the combination of dry mid-level air and marginal
(24-25 C) sea surface temperatures appear to be keeping deep convection (below -50C) in check while it attempts to wrap around the center"

So, then deep convection was being held in check. Three hours later, however, that doesn't seem to be as much the case. Am I again making too much of this? Or is it different this time? Is this just temporary due to D-Max?
Any thoughts?

Don is looking extremely healthy right now. I wouldn't be suprised if he's close to hurricane strength. Deep convection has wrapped around most of the system, and there seems to be an eye-like feature.

I suspect Don will be considered for a post season upgrade to at least a stronger tropical storm.

12z BT is still holding at 45 kt. I strongly disagree. This is likely at least 55 kt. Not sure it’s a hurricane because sometimes these higher latitude storms can look deceiving.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.
