COMMENTS: ...CLASSICAL SUBTROPICAL STRUCTURE WITH MOST DEEP CONVECTION IN THE NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT. WELL-DEFINED CIRCULATION, BUT MOSTLY EXPOSED TO VIEW BECAUSE OF SUBTROPICAL STRUCTURE. SOME DEEP CONVECTION MAY DEVELOP TOWARDS THE CENTER, AND A TROPICAL TRANSITION MAY TAKE PLACE TOMORROW OR SATURDAY.
