Very well developed 97L - Central Atlantic

Another impressive late season Invest.

Currently tracking NW from about 34N 39W.

This feature has possibly already crossed the STS/TS threshold, and if it doesn't get a name real-time, could easily see favor for a post-season reanalysis. Based on a recent 1800Z ship report, winds even well away from the LLC are already blowing in excess of 30mph sustained, with pressure (well away from the center) down to 1001mb.

No recent QScat or WScat.

Here are some most recent public Dvorak estimates from SSD:

28/1745 UTC 33.7N 39.0W ST2.5 97L -- Atlantic
28/1145 UTC 32.3N 38.8W ST2.5 INVEST -- Atlantic

There is a limited window before 97L may merge with a frontal boundary and/or encounter lower SSTs for further development.
