Area of Interest - Tropical Storm Patty Near Bahamas
      Thu Oct 11 2012 10:25 AM

At 11/12Z, Invest 97L was located at 25.5N 72.6W with sustained winds of 30 knots and a central pressure of 1009MB. The system is well formed with persistent convection and it has been drifting to the southeast for the past 24 hours. It certainly seems to meet all of the qualifications for a Tropical Depression but for some reason unknown to me, NHC has been reluctant to upgrade the system - perhaps the earlier NHC expectations for rapid frontal capture and movement to the northeast may have influenced their decision to hold off on any upgrade.

Title edited to reflect upgrade.
