Agree on if it mantains south it will survive.

This system has been a real trooper!! After looking rather ragged yesterday afternoon and most of last night it began getting it's act together early this am and has concentrated it's convection around the center of circulation and developed decent outflow to it's north. Winds near the center are in the 23-28 knot range. One reason I believe this system has survived is that the Ull to the NW did pull a little bit north allowing more moist air to move in west of the system. Also shear has lessened in the area immediately W of the system and has also pulled a little N to above 10N thanks to the ULL backing off. Since it has stayed further south than it appeared that it was going to it has also enjoyed warm water to feed it's need for warmth. Two models do close this system off for about 24-36 hours before it hits the very hostile environment west of it nearer the Islands. For these reasons I do feel that Tropical Storm Bill, although probably minimal and short lived is in his formation stages and very well could already be a TD.
As usual the Storm2k forecast team will be keeping a close eye on this developing situation and update it as necessary.
