That low has been spinning around out there for 3-4 days. It's not far from where TS Zeta formed on Dec. 30th of 2005:

http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/atl ... /track.gif

SSTs look a bit cool (maybe 24C) but high enough to support a subtropical storm. QuikSCAT pass from this morning indicates 35-40 kts. It all comes down to whether the NHC will bother to name it. Should begin encountering increasing wind shear in about 3-4 days as it moves SW-WSW at 5-10 mph. No land areas will be affected.

Its getting dark in that part of the Atlantic,but you can see how the system looks in the visible image.By the way,the NHC floater and NRL(The site) are having problems as they haved not been updated in their images.Only this site ramsdis doesnt have problems updating the images.

They just reworded the TWD:

...CORRECTION TO INTRODUCE SPECIAL FEATURE...

BASED ON 1200 UTC SURFACE ANALYSIS AND SATELLITE IMAGERY THROUGH
1715 UTC

...SPECIAL FEATURE...

INTERESTING FEATURE FOR THE DAY IS THE DEEP CYCLONE CENTERED
NEAR 27N38W. THIS SYSTEM HAS REMAINED STATIONARY FOR A COUPLE OF
DAYS AND ORGANIZED CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING IN A COUPLE OF BANDS
LOCATED TO THE EAST OF THE CENTER. QUIKSCAT WINDS SUGGEST THAT
THERE ARE SOME GALE FORCE WINDS ALONG THE NORTHERN SEMI-CIRCLE
AND SE QUADRANT OF THE SYSTEM...THAT SEEMS TO BE ACQUIRING SOME
SUBTROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS. THE MOST COMMON TYPE OF SUBTROPICAL
CYCLONE IS AN UPPER-LEVEL COLD LOW WITH CIRCULATION EXTENDING TO
THE SURFACE...AS IN THIS CASE. ACCORDING TO THE UW-CIMSS
PRODUCTS...VERTICAL SHEAR ON THE SYSTEM IS RELATIVELY WEAK...BUT
THIS LOW-MODERATE SHEAR ENVIRONMENT MAY ONLY LAST FOR ANOTHER
DAY OR SO BEFORE STRONG UPPER WESTERLIES IMPACT THE SYSTEM WITH
THE APPROACH OF A VIGOROUS SHORT-WAVE TROUGH. THE CYCLONE SHOULD
MEANDER IN PLACE FOR THE NEXT 24-36 HOURS OR SO. SOME OF THE
MODEL GUIDANCES MOVE THIS SYSTEM TO THE SW ACROSS THE OPEN OCEAN
WATERS. THIS SYSTEM COULD BECOME A SUBTROPICAL CYCLONE AT ANY
TIME.

QS indicates it has TS force winds. Question is, will NHC bother to name it?

Subtropical Storm means name.

I am giving credit to our friend Hurricanehink who was the first one to see this system.In my case,I was not paying any attention to that part of the Atlantic.But as things are going in the past few years,we will have to look at the Atlantic the 12 months of the year. :)

I wish wxman57 would show up on Extreme Weather Guys' Texas winter weather threads. We get no pro-met input on the weather most likely to affect me, and my palm and citrus trees.

TWOs aren't issued in the offseason. That's what the STDSes are for.

Hah, thank you much Luis. It just so happened I was bored, and I for one believe the door for the tropics are never fully closed.

Yeah I know, but the "Code red" was a reference to RL3AO's TWO scale. It's not coming from a TWO, which is what the scale is for, but its the equivalent.

We have a TCFA:

Image

UNCLAS//N03146//
MSGID/GENADMIN/NAVLANTMETOCCEN//
SUBJ/ TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION ALERT
RMKS/1. FORMATION OF A TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN 200NM
EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 27.0N 38.0W TO 30.5N 38.0W WITHIN THE
NEXT 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY ISSUANCE OF A NUMBERED
TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING AT THIS TIME.
2. AT 291500Z METSAT IMAGERY INDICATED THAT A 1008MB SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
WAS CENTERED NEAR 27.0N 38.0W AND IS CURRENTLY DRIFTING NORTHWARD
AT APPROXIMATELY 05 KNOTS. WINDS IN THE AREA ARE 25 TO 30 KNOTS AS DERIVED
FROM A 1200Z SURFACE ANALYSIS. CORE-CONVECTION IS BECOMING BETTER ORGANIZED
AND UPPER LEVEL DIVERGING WINDS ARE ALSO AIDING IN THE SYSTEM'S OUTFLOW.
ENHANCING THE POSSIBILITY FOR TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED
BY 301600Z DEC 06.//

This shouldn't be taken to be an indicator that this is becoming a tropical cyclone; NLMOC issues TCFAs for subtropical systems, as well.

[Insert STD joke here.]

Anyway, having storms this time of year is really just awkward.

I heard it during Zeta, and I wanted to see if it was true that New Years has a bad rap for TC's as there is a miniature peak in at least the ATL in activity.

I cannot believe this is happening AGAIN! This is exciting since these events are so unusual.

When I go to the NRL site, I don't see 95L posted on it.
