CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY...

NONE.

I think it'll be Hurricane Bret by this time tomorrow.

Satellite presentation certainly looks more impressive this afternoon. RECON should arrive shortly and we'll see if it has gained any strength since the last visit. It also looks like a may miss the first trough and await the second trough in a day or two.

Recon finding 55-60 kt winds now. Little doubt it'll be a hurricane by tomorrow morning.
