NHC Slow to pull trigger...

Geez, we've seen NHC quickly name several small swirls way out in the ocean that lasted less than 2 days. Today satellite and radar loops clearly show a swirl off the FL east coast with buoys recording wind gust to 50+. I guess because it's truly not a tropical system since there is a well defined upper low over it, but c'mon, we want Rina! As long as it stays east of FL, it's not our problem. In fact, whatever forms(weak low), we'll continue to see a more northerly flow of drier air for most of this coming week. The following week we should finally see 'sweater weather" back, which for most of us will be welcomed. The tropics are not dead, but for us the Fat Lady has been singing for 10 days.
