The 8pm best track data, which usually comes out about half an hour later from the NHC (using a system designed by NRL), often reflects what they do at 11pm. It's not technically official, although if they don't change their mind and lower the best track data after a very short period, you can almost count on the upgrade not being a mistake. (or a lot of sites would then be wrong) They could further change the wind speeds or other data at any time, but once they assign a name or upgrade something from an invest to a depression, it is extremely rare for them to go back and change it. It has happened with an invest being upgraded to a depression before, though I can't recall if they ever accidentally gave something a name in the best track data, or more likely changed their mind, and then took it back.



Meanwhile, that disturbance to the NE of Gabrielle has a 10% chance of development. Now that would be interesting to see. Also, in case anyone missed it, there is a new hidden circle over Africa. (They started coverage at 20% in five days at 2pm.) Currently 20% chance in five days, although they have not had much luck with the African waves this year. Then again, no one has.
