Re: andrea heading out

I'll be the first & I'm sure not the last to say that I essentially agree with HF's assessment of Andreas final hours. I saw nothing overnight last night and into the first 15 or so hours of the day today that resembled "remnants" (of a once named and legitimate system.) I view NHC's decision not to upgrade Andrea real-time as just that: a decision not to upgrade real-time. Every season we witness this, in one fashion or another, and very often with numerous examples. Ultimately Andrea did start to merge with the front and lose her hurricane-like appearance, as well as her other tropical & subtropical features, as she should running off to the east along and with an approaching cold front. But certainly HF is spot-on that before she did, she more than met reasonable qualifiers for TS status.
