Re: Tropical Depression Developing East of Caribbean

recon is indeed already in and investigating 94L's environment.
Here's one of the latest messages, decoded

Fri Aug 31 2007
1642 GMT
Latitude 14.7 N
Longitude 61.1 W
No turbulence
Currently flying in the clear
Flight altitude 22999 feet (7010 meters)
Flight level winds 80 degrees at 16 knots (18 mph)
Temperature -14 C Dewpoint -48 C
Remarks: AF305 01FFA INVEST OB 03

Thought I would start to highlight something else -
Honorable mention to the quasi-tropical cyclone up around 42N. Hopefully we see an Invest tag slapped on it soon, such that model runs and microwave images become more available. Some tropical cyclogenesis is occurring within a deeply-stacked, non-tropical low... embedded within the parent large, cyclonic gyre, ESE of Newfoundland.

Here's what the latest TWO has to say about it
A NEARLY STATIONARY AND RATHER STRONG NON-TROPICAL LOW HAS DEVELOPED
ABOUT 700 MILES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF CAPE RACE NEWFOUNDLAND. THIS
SYSTEM HAS BEGUN TO ACQUIRE SOME TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND WILL
BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
