FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

A NON-TROPICAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED ABOUT 435 MILES SOUTHWEST
OF BERMUDA CONTINUES TO PRODUCE GALE FORCE WINDS OVER AN AREA
EXTENDING SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE
CENTER. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW
HAS CHANGED LITTLE OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS...AND THIS SYSTEM STILL
HAS SOME FRONTAL CHARACTERISTICS. HOWEVER...CONDITIONS APPEAR
CONDUCIVE FOR THIS LOW TO GRADUALLY ACQUIRE SUBTROPICAL
CHARACTERISTICS TONIGHT OR TUESDAY. THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH
CHANCE...70 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A SUBTROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES SLOWLY WESTWARD TONIGHT AND MOVES
NORTHWESTWARD ON TUESDAY. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS GALE AREA
CAN BE FOUND IN HIGH SEAS FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE NOAA NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE UNDER AWIPS HEADER NFDHSFAT1...AND UNDER WMO HEADER

SUBTROPICAL STORM SEAN DISCUSSION NUMBER 1...CORRECTED
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL192011
400 AM EST TUE NOV 08 2011

CORRECTED TIME FROM EDT TO EST

SATELLITE INFORMATION AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THE LARGE
NON-TROPICAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN MEANDERING BETWEEN
BERMUDA AND THE BAHAMAS THE PAST FEW DAYS HAS ACQUIRED ENOUGH
ORGANIZED CONVECTION TO BE CLASSIFIED AS SUBTROPICAL STORM SEAN. AN
08/1021Z ASCAT OVERPASS INDICATED THE ENTIRE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION
HAD BECOME BETTER DEFINED...ESPECIALLY THE INNER CORE WIND FIELD. A
LARGE FIELD OF 34-KT WINDS EXTENDS A FEW HUNDRED MILES WEST THROUGH
NORTH OF THE CENTER...BUT THE ASCAT OVERPASS APPEARS TO HAVE
UNDERESTIMATED THE ACTUAL STRENGTH OF WINDS BASED ON WINDS OF 41 KT
REPORTED BY NOAA BUOYS 41047 AND 41048 AT 08/0100Z. SINCE THE TIME
OF THE ASCAT PASS...THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS INCREASED IN ALL
QUADRANTS...AND HAS BECOME MORE CONCENTRATED NEAR THE LOW-LEVEL
CENTER. FURTHERMORE...WEAK ANTICYCLONIC OUTFLOW HAS STARTED TO
DEVELOP DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS...AND THE 08/00Z FSU PHASE
EVOLUTION DIAGRAMS BASED OFF THE GFS...UKMET...AND CANADIAN MODELS
INDICATE THIS SYSTEM HAS DEVELOPED A SHALLOW-MODERATE DEPTH WARM
CORE. ALL OF THESE DATA GIVE CREDENCE THAT THIS SYSTEM IS AT LEAST
A SUBTROPICAL CYCLONE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 40 KT IS BASED ON
THE NOAA BUOY REPORTS AND SATELLITE SUBTROPICAL CLASSIFICATIONS OF
ST2.5/35-40 KT FROM BOTH TAFB AND SAB.

THE INITIAL MOTION IS NEARLY STATIONARY. SEAN HAS BEEN MAKING A
SMALL CYCLONIC LOOP DURING THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS AND LITTLE
OVERALL MOTION IS EXPECTED TODAY AS THE CYCLONE REMAINS TRAPPED IN
WEAK STEERING FLOW. BY 12-24 HOURS...HOWEVER...SEAN IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE SLOWLY NORTHWESTWARD AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE NORTH
BEGINS TO ERODE AND RETREAT TO THE EAST AS A STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM
AND ASSOCIATED DEEP-LAYER TROUGH MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN
UNITED STATES. BY 48-60 HOURS...THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL SYSTEM
WILL BE MOVING OFF THE U.S. EAST COAST...AND THE STRONG
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT SHOULD BEGIN TO
ACCELERATE SEAN TOWARD THE NORTHEAST. IN THE 96-120 TIME FRAME...
THE CYCLONE IS EXPECTED TO MERGE WITH THE FRONTAL SYSTEM...ALTHOUGH
DISSIPATION OF SEAN DUE TO STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR IS A VERY DISTINCT
POSSIBILITY. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE
CONSENSUS MODELS...AND IS A BLEND OF THE GFS AND ECMWF MODELS.

SEAN IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER 26C SSTS FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 48
HOURS...WHICH MEANS THE CYCLONE COULD POSSIBLY TRANSITION INTO A
TROPICAL STORM AS THE VERTICAL SHEAR WEAKENS. HOWEVER...ALL THIS
WOULD LIKELY DO IS CONTRACT THE WIND FIELD. OVERALL...ONLY A SLIGHT
INCREASE IN STRENGTH IS EXPECTED...ASSUMING THAT AN EYE FEATURE
DOES NOT DEVELOP. I SHOULD BE NOTED THAT SEAN IS A RELATIVELY
SHALLOW SYSTEM WHOSE VERTICAL EXTENT LIKELY ONLY EXTENDS UP TO THE
300 MB LEVEL. AS A RESULT...THE NORMAL SHEAR COMPUTATIONS MADE BY
THE SHIPS MODEL ARE LIKELY GOING TO BE TOO STRONG SINCE THAT MODELS
USES WINDS AT THE 200 MB LEVEL.

The question now is if Sean makes the transition to a pure tropical storm before it gets caught in the SW flow out to sea.

Also, quite an interesting system. What's up with this line?

OVERALL...ONLY A SLIGHT INCREASE IN STRENGTH IS EXPECTED...ASSUMING THAT AN EYE FEATURE DOES NOT DEVELOP.

Stewart is generally more clear about things, I just thought that was an interesting statement.

They are NOT endorsed by any professional institution or storm2k.org. For official information, please refer to the NHC and NWS products

Very interesting discussion, shallow systems could intensify more than expected: 2009 Grace, Vince, Epsilon, to name a few. In my unofficial opinion Sean is transitioning to a tropical system as it has got rid of the dry air in its circulation and the strongest convection is near the center.

[Thunder44]

The question now is if Sean makes the transition to a pure tropical storm before it gets caught in the SW flow out to sea.

First visible image.
http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/htdocs_dyn_a ... .100pc.jpg

I think it will make the transition to a TS in 24-36hrs. Convection is already getting deeper and more consolidated around the center. On water vapor imagery, the ULL appears to be filling in, as well.

SUBTROPICAL STORM SEAN DISCUSSION NUMBER 2
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL192011
1100 AM AST TUE NOV 08 2011

SEAN APPEARS TO BE MAKING A TRANSITION INTO A MORE TROPICAL SYSTEM
WITH DEEP CONVECTION FORMING IN A CURVED BAND RELATIVELY CLOSE TO
THE CENTER. THIS IS ALSO REFLECTED IN THE SATELLITE INTENSITY
ESTIMATE FROM TAFB...WHICH USED A CURVED BAND DVORAK PATTERN
INSTEAD OF A SUBTROPICAL CLASSIFICATION. SINCE SEAN IS STILL NEAR
AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW...I HAVE CHOSEN TO KEEP IT SUBTROPICAL ON THIS
ADVISORY...AND THE WIND SPEED WILL REMAIN 40 KT. THE CYCLONE WILL
LIKELY BECOME TROPICAL BY THE END OF THE DAY AS MOST OF THE MODEL
GUIDANCE SHOW AN UPPER-LEVEL ANTICYCLONE BUILDING OVER SEAN. SOME
MODEST STRENGTHENING IS ALSO POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS WHILE THE SHEAR REMAINS LOW TO MODERATE. THE NHC FORECAST IS
NEAR THE SHIPS/LGEM MODELS...AND A BIT HIGHER THAN THE MODEL
CONSENSUS. AFTER 48 HOURS...SHEAR SHOULD MARKEDLY INCREASE
AS THE CYCLONE MOVES OVER COOLER WATERS...AND WEAKENING IS LIKELY.

THE CYCLONE HAS BEEN MOVING ERRATICALLY DURING THE PAST SEVERAL
HOURS...RECENTLY ON A SLOW NORTHWARD DRIFT. SEAN SHOULD BE STEERED
TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AS SUBTROPICAL
RIDGING BRIEFLY BUILDS OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. THE STORM WILL
LIKELY TURN TOWARD THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE UNITED
STATES ON THURSDAY DUE TO A DEEP TROUGH MOVING OVER EASTERN NORTH
AMERICA. THE NHC FORECAST WILL STAY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE
GUIDANCE ENVELOPE...BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF MODELS...AND ASSUME
IT WILL NOT BE ABSORBED BY THAT TROUGH QUITE AS FAST AS MOST OF THE
MODELS SUGGEST.
