Tropical Storm, but it will strengthen to Hurricane before hitting Nova Scotia.

A subtropical STORM (40+ winds) at the very most. These systems take a while before they transition into warm-core systems. It's not even close to a tropical cyclone now.

Give it another 2-3 days and it should be tropical enough...

Tropical Storm. Even the NHC says it's becoming tropical and it already has 40-45 mph winds.

Not quite tropical yet. The system does have tropical characteristics, but that doesn't make it entirely tropical. That's why they have the SUBTROPICAL classification, which is a combination of both tropical and extratropical characteristics.

Once we see a good burst of convection, it should become fairly tropical. I'll give it another 36 hours...

Once we see a good burst of convection, it should become fairly tropical. Within 36 hours it should become a tropical system...if it can survive strong UL winds...
