It may have the looks, but it doesn't have the goods! Months too early!

Is it even warm-core? I don't think the NHC cares too much about it right now, it is way out of season. If it becomes obvious, will they still call it 90L?

Look at the ship report that I posted. Air temp: 59ºF, Dew Point: 51ºF. And the ship was basically inside the system. There's no way it's tropical or subtropical for that matter. SST are way too low. I can accept 21-22ºC, but below 20ºC is simply too cold.

Yeah no way this thing is tropical. Especially if a ship was inside it and didn't report anything out of the ordinary.
