Satellite imagery would support classification, but NHC are holding off on doing so until RECON gets in. If it was 1000 miles further east then it would probably have been classified on imagery alone. The advantage is they will have a sure answer in the next hour or two. Given the motion it looks likely that northern Venezuela will get at least some wet and windy weather, but it is also possible the centre will track pretty near the coast. This interaction will probably limit its intensification during the time period too.
