The NE Atlantic low is interesting. It's located beneath a cold core cutoff low, giving it the benefit of having abnormally cold temps aloft to work with, somewhat like Alex in January. I doubt it'll develop before the cutoff rejoins the main flow in 36 hours or so, exposing it to blasting mid-latitude westerlies, but it's not impossible that we could see a shallow subtropical storm, especially with the system already showing signs of shallow surface-based convection.

Re: Chance for Tropical Formation over the NE Atlantic
Honestly, this is the first time looking at these satellite pic's and photos. Crazy fascinating because one just doesnt see W. Europe in any way shape or form as a point for tropical genesis. Quite the contrary, much less substantiating a truly tropical system from the Central N. Atlantic to even maintain its tropical characteristics. That all said, these pics seem to bear out what did appear to be at least a sub-tropical development that would at minimum support a tropical storm. I wonder if post season review might later designate this system as such? Very interesting.

Re: Chance for Tropical Formation over the NE Atlantic
Guys, thanks for this thread. Those storm satellite photos are fascinating and I do wonder if the NHC classifies this or is this a European function. Since it does not impact North America, I would presume the latter.
