A weak low pressure system in the eastern Atlantic is showing some subtropical characteristics with thunderstorms on its eastern side. The system has the potential for subtropical genesis due to warm waters but is expected to weaken as it encounters high shear. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring the area with a low chance of development.
No development from the little low NHC highlighted yesterday (bit too much shear still). But large-scale cyclonic flow has weakened the trades, driving another substantial warming of the Atlantic. These synoptic events are key to setting the SST configuration heading into summer. https://t.co/OvCcx6jrke
As first mentioned here yesterday, the curious little circulation in the eastern Atlantic continues to move southwest. It is over pretty cool ocean temps (contours), and typically we would need about 26°C to support a tropical cyclone. Also, upper shear has blown convection… https://t.co/ynJtyJhOKW
Off the eastern coast of North America, a strong low pressure system evolves. https://t.co/oLAJ2EaWON
NHC: “An area of low pressure located about 900 miles northwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has been producing a small but persistent area of showers and thunderstorms to the east of its center since this morning. However, the low is forecast to move southwestward at 10 to 15 mph… https://t.co/G5qyTv8bnY
Hurricane center watching blip in Atlantic. No threat but hints at busy season ahead https://t.co/azTLkWDJiT
TRACKING THE TROPICS: The National Hurricane Center identified a low pressure system that has a chance of development. This comes after meteorologists projected an "extremely active" hurricane season. STORY: https://t.co/miy93CUaeE https://t.co/RBeYd2Tjz5
This probably won't become a storm, but it's a bit early to see some swirling low pressure far out in the Atlantic Ocean. Waters running warm this year... https://t.co/3Aw8kI49hi
NEW: The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area of storms in the Atlantic for low-potential tropical development. More: https://t.co/rcIQXHF3k1
I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. NHC is monitoring an area of disturbed weather in the eastern Atlantic. The chance of development is only 10% but will drop to zero when upper-level winds increase tomorrow. The reason this even has a chance is because of how… https://t.co/rfytDtIZYz
JUST IN: Atlantic storm given 10% chance of development. FOX Weather meteorologist @IanOliverWX has the details. #HurricaneHQ https://t.co/1Wgqc5Ot89
NEW: @NHC_Atlantic concurs and is monitoring this area for a very low chance of subtropical development. https://t.co/AWjyHW2Nin https://t.co/gabmEk0sJH
4 pm EDT Apr. 24: We are monitoring an area of low pressure over the east-central Atlantic. The low is forecast to move into an area of stronger upper-level winds tonight and tomorrow, and additional development is not expected. More info at https://t.co/aZJDSBgcNn https://t.co/DNtVXg4Ocy
Shout out to the little swirl in the eastern Atlantic firing deep convection (with GLM-indicated lightning flashes) over 24C waters. That's warm enough for at least subtropical genesis, but shear is quite high and expected to increase. https://t.co/2DFFIX4Iml
What's that? Can it be? Not quite! This is a weak low pressure system over the northeast Atlantic. It has a closed low-level swirl and is sprouting thunderstorms on its eastern side... and has some subtropical characteristics. But its winds aren't strong enough to get a name. https://t.co/e8JGzYzHnM
A miniature swirl in the northeast Atlantic has some convection blossoming on its eastern side despite an exposed low-level center. It does have some of the makings of a subtropical storm, but isn't at that threshold yet. https://t.co/jxvAmCdYii
It's forecast to weaken by Thursday, but an "interesting" little low right now in the eastern Atlantic. Yet another reminder that we're nearing hurricane season. https://t.co/wD81MmsUbJ
