Tropical Depression Tomas flown under invest profile conditions (1 ob w/in 250 by 1800Z for on time). Box pattern performed. Point indicated storm east. found large area of L/V winds in center of box pattern, but storm eventually found on west side of that area. Hygrometer would not servolock at low level, so had to default TD to get accurate extrapolated SLP. Radar was no help except on last fix where there may have been a spiral swirl eyewall. It was very weak, but that is where we found the wind switch.
