MED: Subtropical Depression over the Mediterranean Sea

[DanieleItalyRm]

A System evolve in the next two day in the central Mediterranean sea.





Estofex: A level 2 was issued for NE Algeria, N-Tunisia, Sardinia, the Tyrrhenian Sea and Sicily mainly for large to very large hail (hail diameter in excess of 5 cm is possible), severe wind gusts and excessive rain. An isolated tornado event is possible.
Beyond 21Z, environmental conditions become more supportive for a rapid increase of well organized convection from NE-Algeria towards the Tyrrhenian Sea. Numerous supercells are forecast, which grow upscale into a severe mesoscale convective system.

A discret Low circulation support the Tyrrhenian system from this morning.. but another cyclonic system, more strong, will form this night between Algeria and Sardinia..

Something cyclonic to the west of Sardinia

Could the Mediterranean be trying to compensate for lack of tropical cyclones?

Anyways, that feature west of Sardinia looks interesting.
There is a decent spin to it, but expansive convection near the center is lacking as of now.

but none have been well organized:
