LOL this is so much fun and I'm going to make myself look like a complete moron by the time you all are done with me, but for all the lurkers out there I hope this is providing some level of entertainment....

OK capewx you did confuse me with the cold versus hot core storm systems, but let me explain why. My disclaimer here is my question is either going to make me look like I'm somewhat smarter than I thought, or dumb as a door nail.

My understanding of tropical systems is they are usually formed out of a tropical wave or if I'm correct a cluster of ordinary thunderstorms which eventually organize into a larger system. Aren't those thunderstorms cold cored? Or is that irrelevant because of the dynamics involved with how they form and fuel themselves... IE warm moist air combined with lots of upward movement? Then again a thunderstorm doesn't always equate to low pressure formation does it? Let me guess thunderstorms play by a different set of rules right?
