Low pressure inland over the Carolinas

[wxman57]

I'd give it a 20% chance that the NHC will name it STS Alex by tomorrow. I'm fully expecting a special outlook to be issued today to cover it. No big deal, as impacts along the east coast will not change if it is named or not.

This system has a long ways to get any subtropical characteristics, you can tell there is still a lot of cool continental air being drawn into the circulation with a frontal boundary still attached to the surface low.

There is pretty good 925mb vorticity with this system. I think there is still a possibility for transition. http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/windmain.php?&basin=atlantic&sat=wg8&prod=vor5&zoom=&time=

One thing is for sure...it is cooling the waters in that area of the Atlantic by churning.

Low pressure moving south-southwest.

Roads closed, ferries halted homes going in. Does it really matter if it becomes tropical. It does need to go away.

Property destruction sucks, but man, if that's happening there with a non-tropical low, why are houses even being built there? What's that place going to look like when a hurricane comes barreling through?

[MGC]

The Outer Banks are slowly moving westward. Houses built many years ago will eventually find themselves on the edge of the shore. The Hatteras Lighthouse had to be moved for the same reason.

Doubt this low get named, too broad with little convection near the center. Of course once it get over the gulfstream..........MGC

[tropicwatch]

850mb vorticity is increasing but no convection.

Has the NHC made any mention of this system?

[cycloneye]

Closing on the coast.

thats hardly a feat lol.

Maybe an early sign that the NHC is backing off on naming such systems? Not even a mention.

One of the reasons I expect less named storms this season is because I suspect that is exactly what they're going to be doing. They'll use a standard closer to what they use in the eastern Pacific or eastern Atlantic. No more ten swirls with convection 500 miles away being named from this point forward.
