Looks like something is trying to consolidate around 25n 87w. I'm also starting to see a slight spin to the convection

The obs coming in thus far sure aren't anything to write home about. Would seem that a second center has attempted to form to the wsw of the original coc, under the fresh deep convection that has blown up on the west. May be a bit too unorganized this afternoon, just yet. A lot of the stronger winds found with scatterometer and ship reports look to have laxed from two days ago, less those which persist in response to the pressure gradient tightening from the high building in to 99s north.

Just a wee little bit longer tho, and we'll see what NHC wants to do with this one, at this time.

New NHC statement as of 5:05. Still not trop or subtrop, but could at any time.

Per the STDS issued just a few minutes ago, the plane will continue to investigate the system for awhile longer, and a subtropical or tropical cyclone could form *at any time*. The statement also says that tropical storm watches could be issued this evening.

I read this to mean that winds are sufficient for the system to be named Gabrielle, but that the aircraft has not been able to close off the low - yet, at least.

just read over the recon data.... looks like we are close to having a tropical system... if the convection can wrap around more from the west side... it might help the center close off some... the low swirl can be seen moving to the west on vis shots... the tropical wave in the GOM... needs to be watched too!

Eh. Just because the winds would support classification as a tropical storm does not mean that such winds are truly representative of the incipient cyclone. Nonetheless, it is purely a judgment call from the learned folks in Miami.

Recon has now just found surface winds of 35 knots out of the ESE at 30.4 N 70.5 W. With recon not yet finding a "well-defined" center of circulation, it seems more likely to me that there are two lows competing with each other just a little bit too much just yet to close either one of them off, but, "this could happen at any time," and we would likely have ourselves Gabrielle.. but possibly a bit more subtropical, initially at least, even if NHC goes with the "tropical" moniker.

Looking at the latest loops of both the Gulf and east coast systems... both look pretty non-tropical to me. The LLC in 99L is well south of the convection once again, it appears... so I don't think it'll form into Gabrielle "at any time"... tomorrow, possibly, but not tonight I don't believe anymore.

I think this next to last obs from the recent recon says it all:

I've never seen a recon report say that, I'll have to say.

Could have been anything. The sun was going down, as just one possibility.

NRL has just bumped 99 up to 40 knots, and a ship report recently came in at 00Z from a ship located at 32.40N 71.90W with a ENE wind of 45 knots.

99 is clearly a hybrid, and this should be of no surprise to anyone, given its entirely frontal beginnings. For now, the strongest winds are within a belt of tighter pressure gradients owing to the High to its north, and most likely within any thunderstorms within that belt.

With occasional flareups of deeper convection very near or just about over the primary LLC, it is most probable that when the learned folks at NHC say, "AND A TROPICAL OR
SUBTROPICAL CYCLONE COULD FORM AT ANY TIME AS THE SYSTEM MOVES
WEST-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 10 MPH.," as they have, once again, in the 8PM TWD, they probably mean exactly that.
