Wow... definitely something to break the off-season syndrome.

What are the SST's like?

Moving quickly towards Morrocco, looks like it has no time to develop further.

It either looks like an extratropical low or subtropical system. Only the weather stations in the areas will tell.

Here in Portugal I have been tracking this since yesterday, but SATREP calls this a Comma cloud.

A Comma is an active, mesoscale cloud spiral in the cold air behind frontal cloud bands, often with significant weather.
