OK now we can see with a half an hour intervals what is going on.It looks like it is very close to tropical storm classification.

Looks like the NHC guessed wrong at the position overnight. I put it at 11.4N/41.3W at 8am CDT, about 70 miles north of the 4am position. The center is exposed on the NW side of that convective blob. WV imagery shows pretty strong SW shear over the depression. I think the GFDL may be overdoing the inteneity forecast as it doesn't take into account wind shear very well.

Yes after looking very close to the visbles I can see it but the question is 57 is that the MLC or the LLC.It is ahead of the big deep convection mass.
