Banding on TD 3 looks more consistent with a well organized Tropical Storm. Have seen many tropical storms that looked more like 94 yet kept TS status.

I know there are many parameters for an upgrade. It can seem confusing.

Satellite presentation has improved all day.

Good logical reason given for why the models aren't playing with it as much as 94 that they haven't dropped.

I was surprised they didn't upgrade at 11.

However, I am impressed with the burst of convective energy in 94 currently.

Which system is recon currently in? I am confused on this.

Thanks. Love the energy on this board. Great evaluations of evolving cyclones!
