Powerful Extratropical Low near the Azores

#1 Postby HURAKAN » Sun Dec 11, 2005 12:12 pm

A 997 MB STORM LOW IS OVER THE E ATLANTIC NEAR 33N30W. A
COLD FRONT EXTENDS S FROM THE LOW TO 30N24W 26N23W 17N32W. WIDELY
SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION EXTENDS 180 NM E OF THE FRONT N OF
20N.

Right now the system is clearly extratropical but it has begun to develop convection near center. It will be interesting to see if it can detach from its cold front and move a little bit closer to warmer water temperatures. Still, it will be incredible if the system can become subtropical, and bizarre if it can become tropical. Chance of becoming Zeta is around 20% or lower, but this is the 2005 hurricane season!

12z GFS at 24 hours.

12z GFS at 48 hours.

12z GFS at 72 hours.

Interesting that the GFS is showing the low but will it turn to a warm core one?

Image

12z GFS at 96 hours.

Image

12z GFS at 120 hours.

12z GFS at 144 hours.

GFS says this is as warm-core as it will get.
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cyclonephase/gfs/fcst/archive/05121112/17.html

CMC still develops it into more of a deep, warm-core system before making it more shallow.
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cyclonephase/cmcglb/fcst/archive/05121112/14.html

UKMET shows similar soultion as CMC in terms of core temp/depth of system
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cyclonephase/ukm/fcst/archive/05121112/20.html

And a 00Z run of the NOGAPS shows the same.
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cyclonephase/ngp/fcst/archive/05121100/23.html

Certainly looks like all the models are pointing towards this thing turning warm-core (but that doesn't necessarily mean the NHC will upgrade!)

The system is located over water temperatures around 20-22 degrees Celsius, this isn't going to help for Zeta to form.

If the system move southward or southwestward theres a better chance. Remember Vince did not need warm water.

Also, keep in mind that Epsilon maintained its strength over waters as cold or colder than Vince.
