...SUNDAY NOVEMBER 17 2019 10:30 PM EDT...
The following is a special update on the surface trough of low pressure in the central tropical Atlantic featuring squalls of thunderstorms. The thunderstorm activity has become stronger and better organized as indicated in the above colorized infrared satellite image...indicating a higher likelihood the disturbance will produce enough thunderstorm latent heat release to diminish the cold core upper trough in the region that has been shearing the disturbance. Therefore I am raising my odds of tropical cyclone formation to catch up to the most recent National Hurricane Center tropical weather outlook...and plan to raise my odds further by tomorrow morning and perhaps begin a tropical cyclone formation forecast by my next full update tomorrow afternoon if these trends continue.
