ATL: ANA - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[aspen]

Poor little Ana is gonna get ripped to shreds within 12-24 hours. Maybe that new expanding and wrapping convection could cause a bit of last-minute strengthening.

[Sciencerocks]

Tropical in my opinion and probably deserving of 5-10 knots of increase 1 minute winds.

ATCF seems to agree as it now shows it as tropical.

Not bad at all. One final impressive dMax show before going.

[NXStumpy_Robothing]

I'm gonna miss the little thing, but I suppose I can't do anything but let it go.

Been fun to watch it continue the early starts that the previous 6 seasons had as well, though.

Satellite images indicate that Ana has contracted significantly
since yesterday and now has a compact area of moderate convection
around the center. Given the tight low-level circulation, small
radius of maximum wind, and compact central convection, Ana is
now estimated to have transitioned from a subtropical storm to a
tropical storm. The initial intensity remains 40 kt for this
advisory based on the earlier ASCAT data, which indicated that the
tropical-storm-force winds were confined to the south side of the
circulation.

Maintaining 40 kts seems reasonable to me. ASCAT has trouble getting accurate wind information with small systems like Ana. There are 30 kt wind barbs and assuming under sampling 40 kts is where I would place the intensity as well.

This was a fun lil' storm to continue the preseason streak. Made an unexpected tropical transition and looked pretty good at times in the process. Props to the GFS for sniffing this one out before the others - hopefully that's a harbinger for better genesis detection this year after its dismal performance in 2020.

I understand it probably fulfilled the requirements for an upgrade but this still just feels like a waste of a name to me. Least it became Tropical I guess.

Just curious, but why does it matter?

...ANA BECOMES A POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE...

[CrazyC83]

Her sister is lurking too...probably between mid-July and mid-August.

[ElectricStorm]

Bye Ana. Fun little storm in May

[AnnularCane]

Elsa?

I wonder if she'll be as sweet as her sister.

[NDG]

Well, Ana proved that near 70 SSTs and enough instability in the atmosphere is good enough for a system to become tropical in nature.
