ATL: KYLE - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[aspen]

Tropical Storm Kyle is the earliest named K storm in the Atlantic, surpassing Katrina in 2005 by 10 days (formed on August 24th, 2005). The next record, Lee, formed on August 31st 2005.

I believe Luis of '95 holds that record, not Lee.

It is Luis ‘95. It was named on August 29th. At this rate, 2020 is going to crush that record as well.

You are correct, one of the few earliest name storm records 2005 does not hold. Luis in 1995 formed 2 days earlier, on August 29th 1995 (corrected original message).

If Kyle stays over the Gulf Stream and is helped out by baroclinic forces, perhaps it could hit 50-55 kt. It still has 48-60 hours before becoming fully extratropical.

This came out of nowhere.

Yeah... We've had the colored circles and all, but for some reason this still seems almost unexpected.

Shear it blowing convection Kyle had quickly away from the circulation center now. Looked better this morning.....MGC

The one day I don't check the weather in at night before bed.

Looks like a possible center relocation is taking place closer to the convection? I believe the HWRF from 18z suggested this.

All of those still winds under the convection are flagged, so take it with some salt.

Am I the only one who called their grandmother "Nana"?

Excuse my apparent ignorance but if Kyle is next, and Laura follows that one, how does "Nana" (a second straight female name) follow? Just curious.

How do I answers this without sarcasm... lol. “M”.

Okay, I asked for that. I thought dyslexia was my problem but apparently keeping the alphabet in line is another

"Hey Katrina! Kyle beat your record, take a look!"



"Oh, you mean THAT record..."

Circulation becoming very elongated faster then expected. Probably will be dead at 5.

[EquusStorm]

Didn't take long

[wxman57]

Looks like it is still attached to the cold front.

[EquusStorm]

Honestly I think it probably met criteria briefly yesterday, perhaps tenuously, but at this point it'd absolutely not be classified if it was just starting out. Looks like a post-tropical increasingly frontal low with highly elongated center to me; just a name-taker lol

[Nuno]

I'm not one to usually come out and complain about naming systems, but I'm a bit skeptical about this one tbh

[EquusStorm]

It kinda looked like a TC very briefly yesterday with an incredibly good looking LLC but that's gone now, and I think the intensity is based on ship reports; might have been a TS for a few hours but that LLC went elongated super fast. This is certainly one of those storms that people can rightfully complain is a name-burner, but how fast it spun up could speak to how favorable the Atlantic is to spin up brief tropical storms in even the most marginal of environments.

In retrospect, with knowledge of today's degradation I think the NHC wouldn't have named it, but the trends yesterday ramped up so fast I think they felt they didn't have much of a choice. It started to decline right after they classified it

[MarioProtVI]

No idea why this thing wasn’t declared dead. Everything points to an elongated trough and the NHC just seems to be basing the “tropical” nature off of a burst of convection near the eastern part of the “center” that by all means is clearly baroclinical in nature. TCR will probably shorten the dissipation to 18z which was when it clearly degeneratee into a broad trough.

Hook echo signature with tornadic debris ball spotted over Okla...I mean North Atlantic Oce...nevermind.
