NHC wants to see something important before upgrading...

Actually, I want to see it as well. Persistance. This INVEST is going do one of these:
1. "Go to sleep" after nightfall
2. Bomb big time over night
This probably won't be upgraded at 5:00 PM but the next TWO should raise some concern about it. Those buoy reading are VERY impressive out there for such an bad environment this system has to develop in. Indications are is that by the time this nears the west Florida coast the upper-level winds may lighten up some. This one could get as strong as 75-80 knots maximum. We'll be watching.
