Re: Azores' Invest 92L Becoming Better Organized, Acquiring Tropical Characteristics

Invest 92L has essentially been absorbed by the larger upper-level trough with which it has been dancing for several days, and never really developed sustained, deep convection, typical of most bona fide tropical cyclones. NHC has stopped featuring the system in its discussions, the floater previously over 92L has been dropped, and it looks as if that is that.
For a duration of about 48 hours, 92L did develop numerous showers and thunderstorms within fairly tight bands over and near its coc, with two belts of maximum sustained winds: one closest to the coc, more typical of tropical cyclones, and another about mid-way out, more typical of subtropical cyclones.
It appears that there were two primary detractions keeping 92L from getting a name: 1) A relative inability for the convection, while appropriately-placed, to get very deep, and 2) A relative inability for 92L to sufficiently free itself from the grasps of its parent extra-tropcial cyclone, which ultimately may have been its undoing.
Almost certainly one of the most impressive higher-lat subtropical/tropical-ish hybrid systems we see. Not a Vince or Epsilon, but it held its own for the better part of 2-3 days.
