Re: Watching Disturbance off the Carolinas

NHC stated the following...
THE LOW IS PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR AN AREA OF WINDS TO HURRICANE FORCE WELL TO
THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST OF THE CENTER.

So why not start advisories? It would appear this meets sub-tropical requirements at least and IMHO people take these situations more serious when actual watches and warnings are posted, they do not tend to see the whole picture and seriousness of it when no warnings are issued.
