Also Air Force Met you were right about tracking more west than WNW and that is what the latest lats and lons say.

Latest obs from recon are not good for #9.

Light and variable winds as far south as 15.8N. There is no LLC near 16.5/69.4 due to the fact there is an east wind 40 miles SSW of that location.

Air Force they pulled the trigger just because they had one report from a ship of a west wind.But they may be from a thunderstorm over the ship at that time and not a true LLC there right?.IMO I would haved waited for recon to make the ultimate call and now they may have to go to the proccess of downgrading a TD.

They cancelled the recon that morning so they had to chose whether or not to do it based on that. It looked to all of us as if it was just a matter of time before it went so they chose on the side of caution. Which...when dealing with people's lives...you gotta do sometimes.

Yes I understand that they are cautious when decisions come to upgrade or not.

Sure...there is a chance. The downside is the guts of the system are going to be moving over the mtns of hisp. That is going to beat it up pretty good.

Doesn't look like it me. I'm guessing TD9 will still remain a TD for now.

This is one storm that should have an over 50% chance of regeneration with all that it was going through to get what convection it gained yesterday.

With the westward movement before a possible northward turn, it will have to go over Cuba, rather than Haiti (the western portion of Hispaniola).
