This might be a "hurricane" now!
If you have the data to back it up please post it. I think NHC knows exactly what they are doing!!!

NO one here knows more than the NHC, that would be stupid to say, but according to all information that we have available, which I think is enough to say that this system is at least a subtropical cyclone.

Winds are known to be at least 50kt, with higher vectors rain-contaminated. So it's probably at 50-65kt. Reasonably deep convection wraps all the way around a clear center, and the system is warm core. I meant a subtropical system to hurricane strength, hence the quotations.

Also, it has lost the cold and warm fronts.

I believe that was sarcasm aimed at the people who claim they do know more.

Now the center is exposed on the whole western side. However, it's moving into an area of decreasing shear, so it should have at least one more chance for a comeback before moving into waters too cold for even Vince.
I thought the farther south it went the warmer the water so if its moving south at 15mph how would it get into even colder waters?

Might as well say it's dissipating because they will likely upgrade it now when it is looking less impressive instead of vice versa. Goodbye, Delta... unless you start getting organized again! It had an eye before, but that is now less evident, although banding on the eastern side is still fairly good.

Your arrogance is really frustrating. Instead of seeing posts discussing the storm, I have to see a post by you every few minutes about how bad NHC is screwing up and that you know more (or "can intepret better"

True... however, there used to be previously 50KT wind vectors. It is now less organized, although eastern banding features exist. Even though the eye is still somewhat there, it is now much more clouded up. Who agrees?
