Re: TD 16 Becomes Tropical Storm Noel South of Haiti/Dominican Republic

This mornings quickscat actually shows a weak circulation near 16N and 75W (no joke), near Jamaica.. perhaps the NAM idea is not far behind as Ceildmont mentioned earlier...
Here you can deffinatly make out that weak tight circulation

It's also where the anticycloe is and some convection has been swirling around it.. I think we need to watch this one possibly for Olga or a big time reformation jump to Noel.
You can deffinatly make out the convection swirl near Jamaica to.. this is what the quickscat is showing the "closed circulation". You can not go wrong with quickscat, this is gonna be an interesting day
