94L looks mighty impressive for an unclassified system this evening. Would not be shocked to see an upgrade at 10p. Looks like time is short, though, as it should skirt the northern coast of Puerto Rico before slamming into Hispaniola. My idea from last night about it being able to slide just north of the islands doesn't look like it'll pan out; the ridge is too strong to allow that. For a relatively weak storm, I don't like the odds of surviving a trek across Hispaniola, so I would think we're almost in a "now or never" situation re: classification.

Interesting to look at for December, for sure!

BTW -- my model page is running for 94L, though I generally leave the site's scripts off during the off-season.
