Subtropical Storm Fay?

See the swirly feature that looks a lot like an ULL that trapped moisture in it or a cyclone of some kind but one that does not have a name or designation

Close up....

Sure looks like an organized something... 

Playing name games in the Tropical Atlantic today as the NHC is playing hard ball with their now orange X highlighted on their forecast maps. They are already using the dreaded "subtropical"         term in their discussion this morning... see discussion below with my notes...

The tone of the last discussion was a bit testy..overly defensive if you ask me. REGARDLESS... okay..   Many good mets have questioned their laid back attitude regarding the only game in town right now in the Tropical Atlantic and a twisting game it is...

Bite the bullet and name it already!

I'm sorry it's not a Cat 5 or a Pacific storm named Zebra or Zorba, but it deserves an upgrade for what it is...



This very telling radar loop was posted this morning by Brian McNoldy and he is no wishcaster he is one of the best mets out there.

Come on NHC give the Atlantic show some respect here...

...even if it's likely to hit Germany according to the models..

In other areas there are waves being watched, but that is all we are doing.

In motion that looks like this and you can see the area the NHC will probably upgrade..

....later today or tonight...

It's a rainy day in Raleigh this Monday morning. 

I'm mentally home in Miami walking down Flagler Street towards the Bay

Hey... we all have our fantasies don't we?

I'm not thrilled with the way the NHC has changed the site.

It seems tricky to have to know to click on the 5 day below to know where it's heading.

One of many reasons so many people do appreciate Mike's site

(I included the web address at the top of the image cause I'm like that...)

I'll be back with more information later today on what will most likely be

Subtropical Storm Fay... 

(it's not like they can't spare a name in the Atlantic...)

Also note it's hovering over areas visited by other storms this year so far...
