Re: October in the tropics

Not sure when the last time they went into something so fast. I remember them changing a pattern and checking out a system but not such a fast mission from the getco..

Small interesting little storm yet it's been rapidly intensifying all day .. as small storms are want to do.

Nothing early this morning and a Hurricane Watch by evening. Makes you believe more in all those stories of small storms in history that many doubt intensity on.

Also, interesting to see such a small cone... a reminder that nothing is business as usual in the tropics in early October.

Maybe shear will keep it a TS and not a Hurricane.. we'll know soon.
