Center exposed to the west of convection is the reason the discussion from the 11 PM advisory says is the main reason but eventually it will be Kate on saturday or sunday however spinning with the fishes.

True it seems that "exposure" is what prevents tropical systems from being upgraded.

ChaserUK, good evening to you in the United Kingdom. :)

Sorry for answering for Luis. The next advisory from the National Hurricane Center will be at 5:00 PM EDT. It normally comes in about a half hour before the time indicated.

Advisories are issued at 5:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 5:00 PM and 11:00 PM Eastern Time.

Intermediate advisories are issued in between these times when there are Tropical Storm Watches and Warnings and/or Hurricane Watches and Warnings in effect.
