Waste of time to upgrade it and issue advisories only to downgrade it shortly.
i didn't think it was the duty of the NHC to decide if or if it isn't a threat...they just report what the conditions are...if it meets the qualifications of a TD it should be labeled as thus regardless of how close or how soon it hits land
disclaimer:i have no idea if it does meet the qualifications, just responding to the waste of time quote
I can't believe that we actually need to debate this!
Is there some kind of thrill elicted by having a TD title?
Why the fuss and bother??
IT REALLY MEANS NOTHING!!!
We are on the edge of the "active" part of the season, whatever that will entail in 2006.
Why don't we concentrate on the "named" storms to come and potential threats like the system the GFS is modeling off of Africa and the potential system wxman57 is posting about and not worry about nomenclature!!!!
