what is taking the NHC so blasted long to get the graphics out?

I wouldn't be shocked to see Alberto regain tropical characteristics over the Gulf Stream...

TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALBERTO DISCUSSION NUMBER 18
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL012006
1100 AM EDT WED JUN 14 2006

LATEST SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATE
THAT THE CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH ALBERTO IS BECOMING ELONGATED.
ADDITIONALLY...SURFACE ANALYSES INDICATE MORE THAN 5 DEGREE C
TEMPERATURE GRADIENT HAS FORMED ACROSS THE CENTER. THESE ARE BOTH
EARMARKS OF THE TRANSITION TO AN EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE.
ACCORDINGLY...THIS WILL BE THE LAST ADVISORY ON ALBERTO ISSUED BY
THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER.

GLOBAL MODELS INDICATE THAT THE EXTRATROPICAL LOW WILL STRENGTHEN AS
IT EMERGES OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST LATER TODAY. IN FACT...A
COUPLE OF THE MODELS SHOW THE SYSTEM REACHING EXTRATROPICAL STORM
STATUS AND SO DOES THE OFFICIAL FORECAST.

ONLY COSMETIC CHANGES ARE MADE TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. THE NHC
TRACK IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE CONSENSUS OF THE DYNAMICAL
MODELS.

ALBERTO STILL POSES A SIGNIFICANT FRESHWATER FLOODING THREAT ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE
FLOOD THREAT WILL BE CONTAINED IN PUBLIC ADVISORIES ISSUED BY THE
HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION CENTER AS WELL AS PRODUCTS FROM
LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICES.

Alberto, don't let it hit ya on the way out! See ya in 2012!

[CrazyC83]

HAHA I like that! See you in 2012 and better luck next time in trying to reach the "elusive" retirement home...(the majority of "A" names did so in quiet years - i.e. Alicia, Agnes, Andrew, Audrey - it is difficult for an early-season or pre-season storm to get retired)
