TD #2 = Tropical Storm Ana ??

There are certain numbers that experts use to be able to classify a storm without being able to fly into it and using satellites - Dvorak numbers. Currently, the Dvorak numbers for TD #2 are at 2.5 and that translates into Tropical Storm strength. It has been at 2.5 since 7:15 AM and continues to be at that level. IMHO (in my humble opinion), I believe that the NHC will classify TD#2 as TS Ana for the 5 PM advisory.

In the 11 AM discussion, the NHC did mention that the numbers indicate that TD #2 is a TS but that circulation was not completely closed yet. If Ana does not get classified at 5 PM as TS, that would be the reason.

Let's see.
