Possible Subtropical Development in the North Atlantic

Models expect this system to hang around for the next several days, which may allow the system to become subtropical. Ana, if you're there, knock twice!!!

Minds think alike about this as I posted about it but you already had it posted by one minute. :)

As I haved been posting in the long/Medium range models thread,all of them are showing this for the past few days.Lets see what happens if it hangs around enough for a transition to warm core.

SSTs look to be 23 to 25C. That could be enough to get something subtropical.

If it meanders we might get 90L out of it.

This system is way out over the Atlantic Ocean...but the other thread
concerns a future low in the Gulf of Mexico. Getting busy out there! :eek:

This system looks to be acquiring a defined circulation- I bet 40% this gets a
name as a subtropical system.

sorry an amateur question but with this being further north then the other why do you think this one has better chance of development then the other one? wouldn't the waters be a lot more colder then the one near the GOM?

This one does look quite curious, whilst it is still extratropical its in an area where 2003's Ana formed.

Temps are OK for subtropical transition but unless it moves a lot south, they are still cold for a tropical cyclone. Nevertheless, Epsilon, a system of non-tropical origens, thrived over colder waters. Each system is unique in its own way.

Amazing. Earliest northern development I've ever begun to follow. Thanks Storm2k.

I don't give it much chance for this system to develop into a subtropical storms, is clearly extra-tropical with a long way to go, with SSTs only in the low 70s where it is right now, it will have a tough time to acquire subtropical charecteristics unless it moves a bit further south, the latest gfs keeps it as a cold core system with the surface low pressure dying out eventually in a few days.
