That's looks more like an extratropical low to me.

Just a normal ULL in the WATL. This is not Talkin' Tropics subject.

I may be wrong, but isn't that Barry?? I followed the storm up to the New York area, but then let him go. But I think that's about where Barry might be by now, in this, his latest incarnation.

Did you ever consider that some people might not be as knowledgable about meteorology? Let's be welcoming to those who want to learn.

This is an extratropical, cut-off closed low. Not remnants of Barry. But it is interesting enough to fit in TT.

That's not Barry. The extratropical low that was Barry disipated after moving NE off of Newfounland. That's a cut off cold core low with a surface reflection that just formed last night that split off from the last trough that moved through the NE US.

I really did think that it might be "Barry". I wasn't joking! So I stand corrected. I wish now that I had followed Barry through to the end. Still wonder though. Wonder if dissipating Barry might still have added his energy to the environment helping to create that powerful upper level system off the NE Coast?

Never found water vapor shots to be very good at looking for anything tropical. Mid-latitude cyclones like that are actually quite common in the upper levels of the atmosphere.

This is the huge cut-off low that was talked about by SouthFloridawx here:

http://www.storm2k.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=95111

However, I don't expect tropical development because SSTs are only in the mid 70's.

This was also mentioned in the 8:05am TWD:

ATLANTIC OCEAN...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED
MID TO UPPER LOW PERSIST OVER THE SRN BAHAMAS AND SURROUNDING
WATERS S OF 26N W OF 73W. OTHERWISE...WEAK SFC HIGH PRES RIDGE
RULES THE WRN ATLC WITH A 1019 MB CENTER NEAR 29N72W. FARTHER
NE...A LARGE VERTICALLY STACKED LOW PRES AREA IS LOCATED NEAR
38N61W.
THIS SYSTEM IS PROVIDING LIMITED SUPPORT FOR A WEAKENING
FRONTAL TROUGH WHICH EXTENDS FROM 31N56W TO 23N64W. SCATTERED
SHOWERS ARE WITHIN 120 NM E OF THIS BOUNDARY...ALSO SUPPORTED BY
UPPER DIFFLUENCE.
