Tropical Depression 10 Cyclone Report on pdf

There was much talk in the forum about TD 10 being upgraded to a Tropical Storm,but read the report and see why they held it as a Depression.

IMO, the correct decision and this was not really a candidate to be upgraded

The reasoning was actually stated way back in the relevant discussion, but good decision not to upgrade solely because it's something about to hit the US.

The members that supported upgrading the depression were basing their statements on the fact that the RECON measured tropical storm force winds. Nonetheless, surface observations didn't measure tropical storm force winds, and the NHC decided that the RECON information was not strong enough to upgrade the system.

Maybe if it had happened in the middle of the ocean and the RECON measures tropical storm force winds the system could have been upgraded. I say the NHC did the right thing not to upgrade it and I think satellites images concur on this.
