Re: Nothing Imminent but Plenty of Waves

Ratings like that would indicate 2 sub tropical storms. I wonder how much of this is the NHC wanting to avoid running out of names. After all, subtropical storms get names now.

Eh, the TWO doesn't mention the Azores storm, but the other one is mentioned... Maybe they're just waiting for visible light before pulling the trigger?

Speaking of Azores storm:

Anyone else see a possible 'eye-like' feature? It may simply be an artefact of the cloud organization, but it makes me go hmmmm

And looking at the most recent quikscat, there are a ton of 45 kt wind vectors out there in the system, so at this point, maybe they're also just waiting for it to be 'warm core' enough...
