Well, the weakened it to a TD at landfall in Portugal.

Amazing, a landfalling TC in Spain, who woulda thought it?

[P.K.]

Here are more Sembach charts: http://ows.public.sembach.af.mil/wxcharts/wxcharts.htm

Thanks, more Met Office data on there that I've now found on US websites that isn't availible to us here.

You know those TCs in Europe threads that appear on here, well here is the chart with it still as a TC when reaching Europe. http://www.met.fu-berlin.de/de/wetter/maps/anabwkna.gif

I thought this part of today's ESTOFEX forecast may be of interest:

...Iberian Peninsula...

The weakening tropical storm Vince that made landfall in southern Portugal/Spain bears almost no convective activity with it, but as 00Z Gibraltar shows, shear and helicity profiles can be much more impressive ahead of this system than models have picked up - for example, GFS has only 15 m/s deep layer shear while this sounding shows 25 m/s. Any storm that is able to form near this cyclone, especially the northeast quadrant, can profit of the shear environment and become a supercell with the main risk of severe winds and a tornado.
