Looks more like an occluded low. There's a frontal boundary extending into the low from the north side, and another frontal boundary extending south to the Caribbean.

Please change the title--there is no Tropical Storm that is about to form. Named storms are called by the NHC.

Low with an occluded front, not "occluded low" right?

Right, a low associated with an occluded front. Basically a cold-core frontal low. But such lows can be much larger than any hurricane, even though they may lack the intense core. Doesn't spell good news for New England rain-wise this weekend.
