    This is something to watch and could develop rapidly like Felix during the week.

    The computer models are all unanimous in developing 99L into a tropical storm. The preferred tracks are into North Carolina or South Carolina by Sunday or Monday. The HWRF, SHIPS, and GFDL intensity models are calling for a weak tropical storm, strong tropical storm, and Category 2 hurricane, respectively...

    Why it is called a subtropical
    Strong shearing winds overtop the system weakened on Friday, allowing for thunderstorms to become better organized. Despite this, the pressure has not been able to lower significantly and has remained rather broad and elongated. This, in combination with an upper circulation near the system has resulted in it being classified a subtropical storm, rather than a tropical storm at this time.

    As far as I know, tropical strictly refers to the areas within the tropics (Cancer, 23 degrees north, and Capricorn, 23 degrees south of the Equator). The fact that it lies outside the tropics probably explains why it's subtropical.

    Just a guess ...
