That upper level low that was around a few days ago seems to have absorbed and maintained convection. Does it have any chances of going tropical?

It certainly looks interesting, but it's at a very high latitude, and it's located in an area affected by the Canary Current, which is the reverse of the Gulf Stream, basically. Thereafter, the water temperature, as you can see in the map below, barely sustains a tropical system, and the low is moving to the NE toward cooler temperatures. Also, there seems to be a trough or frontal system is already picking this system up.
