So far winds haved been between 6-12 kts.


Right, nevertheless, to have a little more faith on the system, the RECON has only investigated the perifery of the "storm." Furthermore, usually the RECON first investigates the south side to find a possible LLC, why did they didn't go to that side?

It has the signature of a frontal zone. N-NE winds on the west side, S-SW winds on the east side. Does it look better on satellite than THIS "frontal low" (according to NHC) that formed July 17th offshore Nova Scotia, which the NHC ignored? Dew points over Nova Scotia were in the lower 70s, there was no front offshore:

I agree, I will always think that was one of the better systems of 2006.

Yes, not many 2006 storms (so far) have looked as impressive as this "frontal low". ;-)

The problem was that it wasn't off the SE coast.

Neither is Florence, and the system above looked much better than Florence does now.

They are still trying to find a closed circulation but so far they haven't.

They need to fly further west. I see center more defined about 100 miles SSW of Moorehead, NC on radar. Althougth there appears to be little shower and thunderstorm activity around it.

Are you looking at the spot due south of Jacksonville and due east of Myrtle Beach?

Yes the notice showers moving from north to south west of that circulation. I don't know if that's reaching the surface though.

Yeah, hard to tell, especially on long range. It's be nice if they checked it out though. Hopefully that's why they're headed south now.

Yeah, still haven't found anything more than SSW winds.

Actually they did find one SW wind about 8kts:

Well, there's some variety at least with NW winds.

Though they're ascending as though they're done.
