even though I put in an update on nwhhc calling this a TS (primarily for consistency), this was a horrible upgrade, IMO.

no true center, and the wind readings are significantly less than 12 hours ago. Then again, wedo have the most aggressive forecaster who does seem to upgrade more than others (errs on the side of caution)

What I see is a cirulation that has gotten a little tighter over the last 6 hours. But also it has weak winds over the southwestern quad(5 to 10 knots) I see a few areas of 25 knots. The t number came in saying 2.5/2.5.
