Those are TS numbers! :D However last floater pic show convection dying out again and what appear to be a LLC just southwest of the main convection area as wxman57 said a short time ago.

Do you think the TD will be upgraded at 11pm advisory?

Actually, it just MIGHT be upgraded if it continues at this rate.

Bastardi is also coming to the thought that she might be a Hispaniola hitter:

"The depressions blowup of convection this afternoon was also accompanied by the development of banded convection in advance of it and so the overall structure has improved. The storm may be upgraded tonight as it most likely has tropical storm winds on on the northern side of it. With the center gaining latitude the way it is, it means that probably will not run the Caribbean gauntlet but instead do battle with sinister hurricane smasher, the island of Hispaniola."

If she hit Hispanola - then its going to tear her apart if she's a Tropical Storm or Hurricane - always does.

Cycloman PR a more complete answer from me to your question is that it is going to be a close call to upgrade at 11 PM because they can decide on both ways leave it a TD until 5 AM or upgrade at 11.

going to affect this storm too much... if it did verify, I think it would certainly weaken, only it would just be to a 40-55mph storm...

Actually 2.0 is satellite derived of a 30 kt depression ...

That center is 150 miles east of the real center. Therefore, the 2.0/2.0 is of little value, IMO

Hard to tell from IR but I still think the circulation is sout of the major convection. If that's the case then it's still on a more westerly track.

Random question, but has it ever snowed in the 10,000 mountains of Hispaniola?
