The satellite presentation has been quite impressive over the past couple of days. I have been quite surprised that the NHC hasn't upgraded this system past a wave since it has, at times, looked more like a strong tropical storm on satellite. It's the whole issue of finding that closed llc with thunderstorms actually wrapping themselves up around it. What has been happening is that, while there has been a closed llc at times, the mlc with all of the convection has been behind it and trying to catch up. Therefore keeping this away for "Tropical Cyclone" status. By Sunday, we will have a much clearer picture of what this storm will do.

I can't wait until Sunday
