Re: Irene Downgrade?

Agreed it was, and is, a td...not agreed on TS...as you said, previously there were even higher quiksat indications...but objective dvorak #s never showed a tropical storm...if they did, I stand to be corrected.

My main point...WHEN they upgraded it, it was NOT a tropical storm...and hasn't been since. NHC made a judgement call...I just, in this case, disagree with them; usually, I agree, this is an unusual case. I think they got trigger happy.
