Here's the main NOAA GOES site:

Sure looks like it's tropical to me.

Oh, just got word of this. It's now getting a Dvorak classification of T3.5:

Is there any colation between number of South Atlantic TC and North Atlantic TC in a year? If so, what does this mean for the 2004 Hurricane Season? Just curious.

Can't have a correlation with Zero :-)

THere's never actually been an "official" South Atlantic TC. Ever.

There's one off Africa that many people believe was briefly a TS from the 70s.

However, keep in mind we don't really have accurate data prior to the Mid 1960s, when there was finally decent weather satellite coverage...and 40 years is an eyeblink in meterological records...
