Re: Watching Disturbance off the Carolinas

Have a vort that came in for 94L a little more supportive of naming it. 94L has developed a shallow warm core, and appears to be bringing in its radius of maximum sustained winds, while also exhibiting a little bit of banding-like structures around the center of circulation.

Highlights of center fix:

A. Time of Center Fix: 25th day of the month at 13:48:10Z
B. Center Fix Coordinates: 32°13'N 76°46'W (32.2167N 76.7667W) (View map)
D. Estimated (by SFMR or visually) Maximum Surface Wind: 54kts (~ 62.1mph)
E. Location of the Estimated Maximum Surface Wind: 31 nautical miles (36 statute miles) to the SSW (209°) of center fix
H. Minimum Sea Level Pressure: 994mb (29.35 inHg) - Extrapolated
I. Maximum Flight Level Temp & Pressure Altitude Outside Eye: 20°C (68°F) at a pressure alt. of 336m (1,102ft)
J. Maximum Flight Level Temp & Pressure Altitude Inside Eye: 23°C (73°F) at a pressure alt. of 334m (1,096ft)

Against naming 94L:
The Invest is still a bit wrapped up with its parent fronts.
The Invest continues to display a relatively extratropical structure on satellite.
