The NHC will not classify this as a T.D. until there is some sort of good storm activity around the center of circulation. That means that it certainly will not be classified tonight and unless it fires up pretty good overnight it won't be at the 5:30 in the morning,either. I know that the system is looking rather nice as far as the signature right now, but it is continually losing its convection. I do realize that this does happen when these things are in their developing stages, but the question will be if it can somehow get things firing during the night. Actually, it doesn't matter what it does because it will be too far south to make an inpact on us here around Houston. I wish there was a chance of it being pushed more towards the NW but I just don't see that happening.
