I don't know. They obviously had a good reason which will be made clear in the next advisory. Funny, this morning it didn't even get a mention in the and now it's a classified system. Shows how these things can sneak up on you. I can see it becoming a tropical storm tonight or perhaps even at the next advisory (although that may be a stretch). We'll see.

some satellite comparisons:
Allen (scroll to page four)
Iris as TD
Isidore as TD
it should be noted that both Isidore and Iris became major hurricanes

"Since there is now a definite closed circulation at the surface...the system near the Windward Islands is being numbered at this time."

It gets brought up to hurricane strength in 72 hours, and is expected to track right into the GOM as a hurricane. UH-OH! 
Looks like it could be a near miss for Jamaica.

Old TD 2 looks like it is getting entrained to some degree in the circulation of the low of La....this may also affect the movement, but will likely slow development, for now.

Disagree on the "entraining" thing, but it is not showing any circulation features, so in my opinion it remains XTD2. It is elongated SW-NE because as the stated earlier "upper winds are not as favorable" as before. If plane is out there, should hear definitively soon.

Bobbi, you get your answer from the Discussion:
ALTHOUGH THE DEEP CONVECTION IS NOT AS IMPRESSIVE AS IT WAS
EARLIER...SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM THE ISLANDS OF TRINIDAD AND
MARGARITA SHOW WEST-SOUTHWEST AND WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS OF AROUND 10
KT RESPECTIVELY. SINCE THERE IS NOW A DEFINITE CLOSED CIRCULATION
AT THE SURFACE...THE SYSTEM NEAR THE WINDWARD ISLANDS IS BEING
NUMBERED AT THIS TIME. VISIBLE IMAGERY DEPICTS A VERY
WELL-ORGANZIED SYSTEM WITH DISTINCT BANDING FEATURES. THE
UPPER-LEVEL ENVIRONMENT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN FAVORABLE THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD...SO GRADUAL STRENGTHENING IS SHOWN IN THE OFFICIAL
FORECAST. THIS IS SOMEWHAT LESS THAN THE SHIPS GUIDANCE.

TD 3 as everyone knows has formed today and is the major feature of the moment. TD3 actually has a LLC for the last 2 days but was part of the and didnt have the TS around or near the center. Finally today after the system got better organized and land obs this was upgraded. Pressure is still high but will slowly fall as it has very good enviroment around it. The pressures are generally high for this time of year in the eastern carribean sea. I expect the system to become better organized slowly and become a T.S in next day or so. When the system gets w of 70W i expect it to begin a more generaly strengthning faze as it will slow down some and surrounding pressures will be slightly lower then the 1014-15 in the islands (outside of TD3). I expect this to become a hurricane after it passes Jamaica on Thursday. Probably the evening. Another trough will be pushing into the eastern U.S. after 96hours from now. How far down it digs and the placement of where the current TD3 will be will determine the weekend movement of the hurricane. Best scenerio right now is it to move into the se Gulf and up florida or across. Some think it might stay alittle more s and move into the Yucitan chaneel drift and move w towards Texas or Mexico when the trough moves out later Monday into Tuesday. Looks like Friday and Saturday we will have a idea. System should gradually get stronger till the weekend.
System in the Southern gulf is a tight compact system. Had great radar from Mexico last night into today. The system could be classified when recon checks this out today and might find TS winds. Pressures are high though and this should get absorbed into the eastern U.S trough and move NE across Fl Panhandle or Big Bend area. I dont expect this to be a strong Tropical Storm if it even gets classified at all.
