The NHC just upgraded TD3 to Tropical Storm Bonnie, based on further information from a reconnaissance aircraft. Maximum wind speeds are now 40 mph (TS range: 39-73 mph), making her only just a Tropical Storm. Central pressure is 1005mb. She's still moving in a NW direction at 14mph, and their revised center location is 22.9N, 75.4W.
The only other change I see is that convection is picking up slightly again, which backs the increase in wind speed.
Next update from me tomorrow. Really. I mean it this time. ;-)
Good night from this side of the pond!
