The tracker seems to be picking up very weak local maxima in T as "warm cores" when looking for TCs.
Additional CLI options to apply the same "closed contour" logic currently used for PS_min would be useful for Twarm_max. An example logic progression would be:
find local max T -> verify warm core close enough to storm center -> verify warm core surrounded by closed contour of 1 deg C (for example).
This will A) provide the ability to screen out weak warm cores and B) ensure observed warm cores are localized and not elongated structures.
