This is not a Tropical Storm. It may have winds between 45 and 50 mph, but it does not have a closed center, the definition of a tropical cyclone.

I think this may be a case where the NHC needs to put out some sort of product similar to a gale warning with tropical information. NWS PR is doing the right think by posting information about the what if this thing does not develop with strong wording.

If they choose to upgrade, the renumber can come at any moment now. I wouldn't put it past them to issue a special advisory later tonight, before 11pm.

We don't know if the circulation center is closed or not because they never flew south of it....

You realize Recon has not sampled the southern side of the circulation right?

Here in the soutern tip of Guadeloupe( where i can see Dominica),the sky are cloudy the wind ENE and i registered 12m/s wind in my official anemometer during a breaf squall. So this is a sheared system like a lot in this area; but seems that naer 15N 58O there is some circulation( mid level???). Stay tuned,i will go again in two hours to recorded the wind and confirmed the plane observations in the area east of Dominica...

Thanks for these so precious observations HUC :) Nothing special in my area... with briefs and modests squalls sometimes strong, wind is relatively calm and weather is very cloudy, grey.

Observation 24...why, with the variety of stuff they can do, don't they just fly around the spot where wind direction changes and see if it is closed.

I agree. If Recon is sending them info which leads to enough credence that a LLC has closed off, they will initiate advisories. My guess we will probably have a special advisory sometime later this evening if they don't do this at 5 p.m.

They did an alpha pattern around what their instruments showed as a circulation..which did not include west winds. I would like to see the area just south of where those winds went nearly calm, but with what recon gave them the NHC doesn't have undeniable evidence of a cyclone.

I'm suspecting they are sampling the wind profile for a classification at 5pm... Just my own thoughts. Satellite imagery strongly suggests we have a closed LLC along with some Lesser Antilles wind reports and recon data.

Can't they also use ship reports and ground reports to establish that west wind?

The current LLC was what was causing the eastern disturbance yesterday. It has tracked west and is now in its present position. I don't think this is anything near what Aric was suggesting was the main center yesterday, if I understand correctly. With the strong westerly shear you are currently seeing the eastern convection was the reflection of this present LLC.

I am just an amateur and a "noob" at that so any speculations that I have made are just that, uneducated speculations. Please refer to the NHC for accurate information.
Thank you all for your thoughts, I've loved reading through this community since '06 and finally decided to post more actively.

They couldn't fly over Martinique to get far enough south, but the wind did shift from NNW to SE, indicative of a weak circulation center....

You made my point...they did not go far enough south to close the center. We will have to wait til they circle back

Ditto.

Yes, at this point in time the visible sat. and surface obs shows a broad, in the clear of the hard convection, surface low passing through the islands. This might very well become dominant.

But, that circulation could also just be running away from the convection of the western blob under which it was located earlier, just above the surface. There certainly have been various centers at various levels with this easterly wave for several days now.

It was brought up earlier but I don't understand why watches can't be issued even if an area is just an Invest. Watch indicates TS Conditions are "possible" and surely that would be true here.

Winds should start becoming more easterly in Dominica and westerly in Martinique.
