QuikScat showing a tight little circ. aroun 8N, 32W on this pass.
And a satellite loop to go along with this. If this is right, score one for the GFS.

It's about time the GFS got something right. It could hardly initialize on Fabian when it was a hurricane!

Yes, strange that the 11:30 TWO did not mention this area. I was looking at color IR from that area, and the cloud tops are very cold. Darker colors than Fabian has at this time. If there was indeed a llc in there, then it must be deeper now since it has deep convection over it. Weak llc's open up when there is no convection to raise the air over it and lower the pressure under the convection. But if you have something in the low level and you get rising air on top of it, it, in theory, should deepen.

The TWO looked like a typical holiday weekend forecast.
