Luis - this is just unbelievable. This HAS to be the most incredible year in the tropical Atlantic in my lifetime. A named storm in April (Ana), TD 2 forming so far east for so early in the season, a very powerful Cat 5 storm (Isabel), and now perhaps 2 named storms in December (Odette and maybe now Peter). Wow! 8-)

This 2003 season is one of the most actives on record and the longest duration season if this system is classified.

Just a word of caution ...

The subtropical low is a gale center (as also stated on the TPC discussion at 7:05 pm, so the winds are quite strong around the low already ... ) and it wouldn't take much ... say a nice little blowup around the center of convection and that would FORCE TPC's hand to upgrade it to STS ...

And Mike they will take their time to classify it because it is in no threat zone to anyone but anyway being a cyclone or not having this system in the eastern atlantic in december is amazing.

If this develops into Peter it would be.
<LI>One of only 2 seasons to use the P storm</LI>
<LI>The most active season since 1995</LI>
<LI>The first season to produce 2 December Tropical Storms</LI>
<LI>The first December storm to develop in the Eastern Tropical Atlantic</LI>
<LI>Be amongst the top 5 seasons overall</LI>
<LI>If a 16th Tropical Storm formed only 1933 (21), 1995 (19), 1969 (17) would have more and equal to 1936 (16)</LI>

I am not saying it will develop just some points to keep in mind if it were to develop.

Interesting information indeed. Of course, there isn't even anything to monitor into the first, nevermind the second week of December. :)
