Re: Georgia Low Forming into Tropical Depression

In my very humble opinion, I find it interesting that the NHC is classifying 96L. 94L seems to have a more well-defined center (near 14.5, -73.5), better banding and wrapping of convection, and deeper convection than 96L. Perhaps it is due to the proximity to land that the NHC wanted to go ahead and hoist the "red flag".

Take a look at these two water vapor images and see what I am talking about:
