This may be a stupid question but how come the NHC didn't issue a "Special Tropical Disturbance Statement" if this thing is supposed to become #3 at 11pm ET?
Just curious..
How come no STDS?

no...actually it meets the criteria for a TD...that is why, hope this clears things up:
Special Tropical Disturbance Statement
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and AWIPS (in parenthesis) headers:
WONT41 KNHC (MIADSAAT) – Atlantic
W0PZ41 KNHC (MIADSAEP) – E. Pacific
Special Tropical Disturbance Statements are used to furnish information on strong formative, nondepression systems. These are usually issued for systems strong enough to produce heavy rains and strong winds that do not yet meet the criteria of tropical or subtropical cyclones. These products are transmitted only as needed.
Atlantic Special Tropical Disturbance Statements are issued under WMO header WONT41 KNHC and AFOS header MIADSAAT. Eastern Pacific Special Tropical Disturbance Statements are issued under WMO header WOPZ41 and AFOS header MIADSAEP.
The most current Special Tropical Disturbance Statement is found on the NHC/TPC home page.
