Of course a number of reasons have kept me from recently bringing this up again. It's too bad that things have turned out the way they have. Everyone loses out here not just me.

Awesome Call Jim!!!

Even if this doesn't develop, the fact that Jim Hughes mentioned this possibility three weeks ago is excellent!

I remember that. A discussion about it would have been nice, but just hearing the call and now seeing it about to verify is astonishing!

You really should be posting more frequent discussions, Jim. People (including me) like to here forecasts of events and non-events. A daily update with a brief thought from you would be appreciated by a lot of us here on the board.

I don't think it will see any subtropical development, but it is an interesting system.

That looks like its transforming more into a subtropical storm. Convection is forming near the center.

Technical question...

Does this need to just invest on or before the 31st, or does it actually have to be named to be considered Zeta? I'm actually surprised that it hasn't been "invested" yet.

I think it has to become a TD before 7pm ET on Saturday to be Zeta... otherwise, if it forms afterwards, it's Alberto.

OTHERWISE... A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE AREA...
ABOUT 1014 MB NEAR 21N39.5W IS THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN ALONG A
TROUGH FROM 19N43W TO 25N35W. COMPLEX MID/UPPER LOW CENTER IS
FARTHER N NEAR 24N36W ALONG WITH SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION
FROM 23N-26.5N BETWEEN 33.5W37W. THE LOW APPEARS TO BE ON THE
SW EDGE OF ANY DEEP CONVECTION ACCORDING TO NIGHT VISIBLE
SATELLITE PICTURES. MODELS SUGGEST THE WEAK LOW MIGHT PERSIST
FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF DAYS IN A NON-TROPICAL STATE.
