probably this is wind in the morning but not in the evening.

Surface plots from 21Z, including that 38 kt report from the "Rotterdam"...


As I thought, 40 kts tropcial storm.

They probably couldn't track this if they wanted because their software cannot process longitudes east of the meridian.


That seems foolish, although I suppose it's not something the coders would have considered when writing the software.

Anyway, this is a very interesting system, even if the NHC can't officially do anything about it.

Probably about 50 kt right now given all the data (that 38 kt is 10-min sustained I believe, and may not be fully representative). Based on that report and the winds, the pressure is probably 1000mb.

No, it's not foolish at all when you consider their AOR.

True, but from a programming point of view it seems silly to me that you would write software that only worked west of Greenwich. I can see why it would be done, but I don't necessarily think it should have been.

it's 99L under the Atlantic Section on the NRL Page... then again, as others have pointed out, doesn't mean it's under NHC's jursidiction... :)

the boa of Alghero (Sardinia) misure 4-5 metres wave. The maximum wave misure 6 metres.
TWenty-foot waves are not caused by 15 kts wind, this 40-45 kts tropical storm.

The special characteristics of the mediterranean tropical cyclones make their detection difficult: only with
high resolution meteorological analysis data and dense maritime observations that task
would be possible. An alternative method, using satellite data and restricted criteria
about the disturbance symmetry, size and lifespan, has been successfully used to detect
twelve mediterranean tropical system from 1982 to 2003.(Meteorological environments associated with medicane
development
).

Again from ESTOFEX


A side-note:

****** Tropical storm 01M/99L ******

SUMMARY: 8th NOV. 2011, 0600 UTC
-----------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION...41.5N 5.8E
ABOUT 108 NM...200 KM SE OF MARSEILLE
ABOUT 126 NM...233 KM W OF AJACCIO, CORSICA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...52 MPH...83 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...ROUGHLY 5KM/H TO THE EAST
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE... ROUGHLY 1000 hPa

UPDATE 06UTC: The center of the cyclone again became better organized with the strongest convection now in the southern and eastern part (maybe enhanced by the jet streak, which passes by to the SE). Some slow movement to the east occurred but despite a further consolidating cyclone, latest reports do not indicate any strengthening (also assisted by ASCAT data). No further surface reports were available.

NOTE 1: Despite issuing new ESTOFEX updates, this part of the outlook will be updated when new informations become available. Please check this table for further updates during the upcoming 24 hours.

NOTE 2: ESTOFEX is not responsible for forecasting any tropical storm activity. This is just an additional information and therefore captured as a "side-note". For more informations, please contact the following address of the Satellite Analysis Branch (http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/2011/bu ... chive.html,[SAB]).

As of 18 UTC (7th Nov.), the Satellite Analysis Branch upgraded the depression over the W-Mediterranean to "Tropical system 01M", as convection persisted for an adequate time atop the center. Since then, deep convection weakened somewhat with warming cloud tops next to the center. Nevertheless, very good banding is now present in all quadrants with good outflow atop (especially to the NE, pointing to a 30 m/s 300 hPa jet). A Dvorak number-pressure relation was used for the pressure classification (also at 21Z at the 7th, a ship at position N 41°36' , E 6°06' reported a pressure of 1005.0 mb with 38kt winds from 160°). The final wind strength reflects the intensity of the latest SAB guidance.

There remains some time left for further intensification, before geopotential heights slowly increase during the end of the forecast period. We would not be surprised to see another flare-up of DMC along the center due to the convective cycle of those features (peaking during the morning hours). The N-outflow may weaken somewhat as the upper jet to the north weakens, but at the same time the southern outflow channel could take profit of a 300 hPa streak, which crosses Sicily during the forecast from SW to NE. SSTs remain at or above 20°C, whereas 500 hPa temperatures gradually warm up 1-2K until 06Z. Combining all those effects, some further organization/strengthening is forecast if this system can support more convective bursts along the center before overall conditions become somewhat less favorable during the night hours onwards.

The storm motion is handeled badly by the models...without surprise. 01M is captured in a very weak steering flow and most models now show a system, which meanders around between the Balearic Islands and Corsica/Sardinia. In any case, residents along the adjacent coasts should keep a close eye on the further development of this feature as bands of strong convection may bring heavy downpours next to gusty winds.

12z update from ESTOFEX. They have it a little weaker.
LOCATION...42.1N 6.2E
ABOUT 84 NM...156 KM SE OF MARSEILLE
ABOUT 114 NM...210 KM W OF AJACCIO, CORSICA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...46 MPH...74 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...ROUGHLY 10KM/H TO THE EASTNORTHEAST
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE... BETWEEN 1000-1005 hPa

UPDATE 12UTC: The new update of SAB now indicates some weakening, as deep convection failed to re-develop mainly in the western part. WV imagery also indicates some dry air intrusion from higher levels, which gradually raises concern about how pronounced the warm core structure is right now. However, intense DMC evolved in the last hour or so mainly in the eastern/northern part and starts to wrap around the center. UW CIMMS also hints on somewhat augmented shear, which should remain steady during the next few hours. The cyclone now starts to increase its forward speed and moves more to the ENE to NE. This may be the result of an upper wave, which passes by to the west. Models want to stall this feature just SW of Liguria as the upper waves moves off to the north later tonight. The risk for strong downpours and gusty winds may increases over far SE France and probably along the W-Ligurian coast during the following hours.
