ATL: EPSILON - Post-Tropical

[Iceresistance]

Epsilon is now at 80 mph & 972 MB, it's becoming a hurricane force non-tropical cyclone on Satellite. The reason why Epsilon is not weakening fast is because of barolinic forcing.

[ClarCari]

It’ll be interesting to see if the warm eddy will bring it up again one last time. It could also cause the stronger windfield to increase even more once it goes extra-tropical. The eastern tip of Nova Scotia could get a pretty gusty brush.

Epsilon is moving pretty slowly considering mid-lattiude storms move at a fast pace. That along with it being late October.

[aspen]

The 11am advisory says that a buoy found Epsilon’s pressure to be over 10 mbar lower than it was estimated to be via satellite data, and that it was likely a stronger hurricane last night. This suggests Epsilon could have plenty of upwards intensity adjustments throughout its track in post-season analysis and increase its ACE total; it has already generated a little over 10 units.

Looks like Eppie isn't done yet, convection around the center has increased significantly over the past few hours

[Ptarmigan]

I am not surprised Hurricane Epsilon became a major hurricane.

[gfsperpendicular]

Honestly kind of insane presentation for almost 40* N

[aspen]

Epsilon is just holding onto hurricane status. Its wind field is huge — 570 nmi (650 miles) from SE to NW. Not quite as large as Teddy’s 850 miles, but still impressive.

[cycloneye]

aspen, Epsilon has 11.7 ACE units and that is a little bit above the 10 you had.

Unreal how good this looks at 45N

[JRD]

Epsilon is now well underway in the extratropical transition process. It's forming a cold front.

[us89]

Looks remarkably good for a hurricane at nearly 45N over SSTs less than 15C.

Looks remarkably good for a hurricane at nearly 45N over SSTs less than 15C.

I agree, and still producing some deep convection to the north of the core. Wouldn't be surprised if it gets one more advisory as a tropical system.

Looks like it will. 18z best track is a 60 kt tropical storm.

[Blinhart]

Epsilon has been an impressive system to observe from a distance.

[HurricaneRyan]

Quite a late season surprise we got with this one.

[TallyTracker]

Epsilon is booking it! ENE at 46 mph!

[aspen]

Goodbye Epsilon. Easily one of my favorites of the year — an over-achieving, anomalous fish major that generated a nice about of ACE.

[us89]

Lasted through the 48th parallel as a tropical system. Impressive.

[cycloneye]

The final numbers of ACE units that Epsilon got was 13.1 but in post season things can change or stay at those numbers.
