Re: Tropical Depression 3 Forms off South Carolina Coast

So far, SFMR measurements of the max surface winds within 94L were taken at

16:01:30Z 16.08N 76.42W and were 52 knots (59.8MPH)

94L has been getting battered around by a bit from a few different sources, but the ULL to its northwest that has been imparting quite a bit of shear is showing some indications that it is coalescing a touch more north-northwest of 94.. and may be pulling ahead (to the west) a touch faster now , which could help offer 94L another window to establish a meaningful LLCC, and ultimately a tight-enough closed surface circulation. Should and once this happens, it is almost certain that this invest would go strait to a name, skipping TD classification.
