99L doesn't have enough convection around the center as of yet ... once that is acquired, a subtropical declaration is looking more likely ...

Yeah, 99L still looks plenty baroclinic to be declared subtropical. Regardless, the Hebert-Potate numbers are now in line with what NRL has listed... ST2.5 / 40kt. Also, pressure is estimated a millibar lower than before: 996mb.

If it wasn't subtropical, there wouldn't be Herbert-Poteat Estimates out...

Maybe I should have said "to be declared fully subtropical." They can still accomplish the Herbert-Poteat technique, but they system is still too extratropical to be called a subtropical cyclone.

Cool :D So i guess if this development trend continues then we could have STS Otto?

It has little convection wraping around the low and without convection it will not turn subtropical.

The circulation center itself with the occluded front is almost wrapped all the way around and could lose its frontal identity in the next 24 hours, however, this doesn't mean that 99L is imminent to turn subtropical ... the gale center is vigorous and fairly curoff from the main flow (as typical with weak El Niño WEST patterns, and why there are so many hybrid-like systems during Niño years) ... 99L, right now, has a 50/50 chance of gaining subtropical status ... It needs to completely wrap the occluded front (thusly, an insignificant temperature gradient) and gain convection ...
