The other interesting thing to note is that while this has been called a cold core low, tangled up with a front, this vortex messages shows it to be warm core. There is a 2 degree C temp difference from the center of the vortex to the surroundings (lines I and J in the message). Also, the max winds are close to the center (31nm), probably close to the deep thunderstorms. Warm core, 40 - 50kt winds close to the center - sounds like a tropical storm to me.

Winds on the east of the circulation are weak.. Dr. Lyons said the strong winds are caused by the gradient between the low and the high elevation of Mexicos mountains..we will see :wink:
