...WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 9 2019 9:42 PM EDT...
The surface tropical low pressure offshore of the eastern US continues moving northeastward toward the intensifying frontal cyclone located offshore of the New England coast. Recent ASCAT passes as shown in the example above suggest the tropical low still has a closed circulation separate from the frontal cyclone...with maximum sustained winds of 25 to 30 knots (30 to 35 mph). This evening a notable thunderstorm burst has developed over and near the surface circulation center...so it is quiet possible this system is close to or reached tropical depression status. However the National Hurricane Center in their 8 PM EDT tropical weather outlook suggested that they will not be upgrading this system to a tropical cyclone as it will soon lose its identity while moving closer to the non-tropical frontal cyclone. It maybe possible that in the National Hurricane Center post-season analysis that this system maybe re-classified as an unnumbered or unnamed tropical cyclone based on its satellite appearance it had for part of yesterday and tonight.
