Particularly for the propensity to strengthen at landfall that's been the theme the last couple of years!

The small low-level vorticity maximum that developed is what got this going. Given another day or two, yadda yadda, would have probably been a hurricane.

Doubt it given the southerly shear but it certainly could’ve been a 50 kt tropical storm in the next 6-10 hours. Very impressive structure on radar for a weak ts, even trying to wrap some bands upshear

Not mid-level shear though. This is favorable upper level divergent shear in the exit region of a digging upper trough. Just saying it wasn't in an unfavorable location for continued strengthening.

recently reported sustained winds of 44 mph (70 km/h) and a wind 
gust of 55 mph (89 km/h) at an elevation of 115 ft (35 m).
