Maybe because it is not a threat to land at this point and they want to be sure. Who knows....
Squalls are over the Cayman Islands and Jamaica now. Residents there consider themselves as being on land. The nearest squall is now 85 miles from the LLC. That would be the only reason for no upgrade.

Re: ATL : INVEST 99L - Discussion
Shear has really caused 99L to be less organized this morning IMO....convection well displaced to the east. Looks more like a remnant low to me....unless a new center forms where the convection is I don't see 99L getting upgraded until convection fires over the current center or a new one forms under the current convection.......MGC

Re: ATL : INVEST 99L - Discussion
Well guys, now that we're closer to the suspect dates of TC formation we've seen from the models of last week, and clearly haven't seen a CA/EPAC event as of the 20th of Oct.....we should not count out the small likelihood this one does make it to S. Florida on October 25 as the earliest models HINTED. 5 days out, we are not in fantasy land anymore. NOW IT'S TIME TO BEGIN REAL MONITORING FOR WHATEVER THE STORM DECIDES TO DO.

Lots of sarcasm on here today. I think I will refrain from posting my opinions on here for awhile and just observe from a distance.

We could see a real change in 36 hours when WX57's shear relaxes.

Amazing how the storm may actually take shape pretty darn close to where the long range models had it as a strengthening storm around October 21-22, south of Cuba. Time will tell rather shortly if we're on the verge of seeing the "real deal" of October.

Re: ATL : INVEST 99L - Discussion
This is what I thought Paula's remnants might do. There's definitely some kind of persistant pattern that sent a second system right up Paula's track.
Caribbean really played out this year, probably because of the potential warned about by NHC in the spring. Everyone thinks of Mitch but I personally think the tropical potential is down because of constant cold fronts up here over Forida.
Marty on the Belize board is on top of it and highlighted the warning for a potential hurricane into Yucatan for his folks.

That's a nice 1010.7 mb low.
I'm going with the globals on this one: weak ts tops.

Re: ATL : INVEST 99L - Discussion
I don't think it qualifies for an upgrade presently, as the shear is pushing the squalls farther from the center. It was stronger yesterday and overnight than it is now. We'll have to wait for shear to relax in a day or two for it to really get going.

Lol, yeah me too. One of my jokes was removed. Hard to transfer a "light-hearted tone" through text.

Less wind than yesterday, less convection. No upgrade today. Will have to let the shear decline first.
