Rabbit, perhaps you have an outdated link to NRL.

>>> 92L is no longer active as all of the data is more than 12 hours old

It's still there still active, in fact:

But wait, there's more...
tropical cyclone formation alert.

You still didn't answer my question as to how if 02 NONAME doesn't get named by 5:00 it won't become a storm. Saying the second TD of the season doesn't develop x number of years out of y doesn't cut it.

Since your link to the NRL may not be working properly, here's the one you should use:

If you look at the latest official advisory for 02LNONAME, you'll see it becomes a TS at 04/00Z, which, if I'm doing the math correctly, translates to 8:00 EDT, which is tonight at 8:00.

Anyone else think we won't have Bonnie by tomorrow?
