Looking at some of the records, it appears to be a thunderstorm-related wind, as the wind was starting to pick up at 2130 (22kts) and was weakening (31kts) at 2140 and has since returned to its average 15kt winds. And looking at the AVN loop, there is a little blow-up of red-colored stuff around 17N 82W, the location of the buoy.
Still interesting that the storms are producin such winds, though.

These BIG T-storms continue to refire over warm waters when normally they would fire up over land this time of day.

Even though this blob is only thunderstorm activity, can it still become something tropical?

Really that would not be good, how sure are you? Global models don't pick up on anything...
Well, I'm not SURE. As I said, MHO. I've been watching this area for several days and it is slowly moving and covecting into very opportune waters. Put it this way, I'll be surprised if it fizzles.

If convection can persist until tomorrow than the NHC might just mention something in the TWO.
