Close but NO Cigar.........

I was looking at buoys information, in visible satellite it was showing this system had a closed LLCC with winds of between 25 to 35 mph. I think I made a good call but the nhc holded off this time. I never said that this was anything more then a tropical depression or maybe at the most by the inforamtion from the a few buoys around the system up there near 30 knots a possible very weak tropical storm was not out of the quastion. I think I was being fair

I dont think many people thought this thing would develop...I think the line is drawn between those that thought it had potential and those that didnt. Nobody ever said it was going to be Lily or Opal...I think most of the pro-development camps was basically saying it could get named...and the fact is...we have seen similar systems get TD status, and even named. So I thinking some the "I told you so's" are kind of uncalled for. Bickering about whether this would get named or not is rather a waste of energy, because ultimately what we are talking about is rain and severe weather. I will admit those that are holding on to it, are probably in denial, but hey, opinions are like aholes right? Let them endulge in there fantasy of a named 40 mph storm...not hurting anybody as long as they arent spouting about how it could be a hurricane, would would clearly be spreading the wrong message to the less educated folk that might read this board.

My post wasn't an "I told you so." Rather, I wanted to see if anyone would respond citing the reasons why they thought this had a chance.... as I said, I thought it was fairly clear that it wasn't going to be anything. You are correct however, we've seen similar looking systems aquire TS status....m incorrectly.
