LARGE SCALE UPPER LEVEL CYCLONIC FLOW IS

That's the only mention from the TWD. Nothing was in the last TWO.

Good grief, but note dew point drop and so far steady temps. Sub tropical at least?

[Ptarmigan]

It does look like a strong tropical storm. It should be Grace.

[tolakram]

The models have been showing this for a while, but I assumed cold core low.

Post season upgrade at least. Weird though that this is an invest without even a Code Yellow.

[cycloneye]

Also,there was any thread at Talking tropics mentioning it.In other words.it came out of the blue.

[HURAKAN]

Latest

[Macrocane]

This is a surprise to me Maybe code yellow later today.

It should be Orange if not Red.

Very small, typical

[Macrocane]

It should be Orange if not Red.

I agree, but remember the other azores systems earlier this season, one of them even had an eye feature and looked warm core but they never reached code red.

The other system was in June and we know that the SST at that time of the year aren't warm enough to support a tropical or subtropical system. Still, it doesn't mean that the system could have been subtropical.
