Mid to late week subtropical/hybrid off east coast?

#1 Postby CrazyC83 » Mon Aug 26, 2013 10:01 am

That's what most GFS runs have been suggesting from the frontal trough expected to emerge off the east coast midweek, the question is can it take up tropical characteristics. The most likely area to watch would be around 38N 70W. Not sure if supported by other models at this time. Worth watching, even though high-latitude storms don't garner much interest here.

It definitely is an interesting feature and we have seen many storms develop up there...

12z GFS shows the low pressure traveling over the gulf stream, I'd imagine it would be fully-tropical rather than a hybrid. It is not late October afterall.

Yeah whenever you get the trailing edge of a trough there is often the potential for some home brew. Watching the tail end of a back door front southeast of Miami. A lot of convection and good easterly fetch to the north :?:

It would most likely be around Thursday if it develops.

Appears to be a frontal low, not tropical.

Visible south of Florida this morning. Upper level low at the moment.

GFS moves vorticity around South Florida and then toward the east coast. Not sure it's directly related or not.

That's unrelated. The low the models are developing is the frontal low now located over Long Island. Completely frontal/cold-core. The system by Florida did catch my eye this morning. Nothing at the surface, though. Pressures in the FL Straits 1016mb and no rotation at all. It's all aloft.

I still think it is worth watching, although the NHC is silent about it right now.

I know the GFS develops this, but what about the other models?

I haven't read one of these in years. Is that showing the system transitioning into an asymmetric shallow warm core, or am I wrong?

Yes. That is correct. Symmetric warm core systems are on the bottom right.

If you don't count the surface frontal (low level baroclinic) zone that the low is embedded in. :lol:

It still may have ideas of transitioning, however time and location are not on it's side. It's already tightroping along the marginally warm SST eddies along the north wall of the Gulf Stream at 40N.
