Yes, when it gets an eye, they'll upgrade it.

J/K. :lol: Yes, many of them get upgraded based on satellite imagery and other factors. They can't always use recon.

It may, if they combine obs with a Quicksat confirmation.

You beat me to it...I was thinking Donna at first but that one formed at around 21 longitude...interestingly Donna is held responsible for a plane crash in Senegal that killed 64 people, so from the moment it came offshore, it was pretty potent already and we all know what Donna ended up doing

yes, but for all we know this could very well already have one.

Persistence of deep convection, and a LLC. Winds may be there, but NHC will need more data.

Dry air and/or SAL, not a problem. Shear, it doesn't seem to be affecting the blob of convection at the moment. Sea-surface temperatures, 28ºC decreasing to 26ºC westward, but really good for development. Will it develop??? Lets just sit and wait, LIKE ALWAYS!!!

I think, in the end, we'll get Hurricane Debby out of this.

It does - reminds me of Hurricane Frances (1980), which became a hurricane east of 30W, but, recurved early...

well, someone mentioned earlier, that the models turn it more towards the west after a few days as the weakness in the ridge fills and the high builds to the west, but I haven't looked at the maps myself, hopefully that will change.

Any record of a storm forming this far out and making it all the way to the CON US?
