It's not the time of the year for this but eyes are deceiving. Looks A LOT to have some subtropical characteristics.

Looks to be ingesting cold air strato-cu from the West, just judging from the satellite loop.


It may be developing a slightly warm core (compared to cold surroundings), but I don't think it has much future.


Although, now that the Super Mega Disaster School Cancelling Storm is winding down, we could run out of things to talk about.


So I won't give up hope.

Ed, I don't expect the NHC to pay a lot of attention to this system not that it will develop. Still, quite impressive for this time of the year.

Almost no way it becomes a STS, but a 90L would liven this place up for a day or two. :lol:

I'm at the 63rd Interdepartmental Hurricane Conference in St. Petersburg, FL this week - along with most of the NHC forecasters (Pasch, Beven, Landsea, Rappaport, Franklin, and Bill Read). They don't seem too concerned. Just a curiosity for now.
