Re: 2007 Atlantic Hurricane Season Begins Today

wel, i guess it doesn't get this close... almost a sub-tropical storm, but thanks to the recent storms flaring... they went ahead and upgraded.

INITIALLY...THE SYSTEM APPEARED TO
BE A SUBTROPICAL STORM. HOWEVER...DEEP CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED
NEAR THE CENTER DURING THE PAST HOUR AND THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE
LOCATED NEAR THE CENTER...SUPPORTING A TROPICAL CLASSIFICATION.
BARRY COULD RETAIN SOME NON-TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
