Just when Matthew develops, Nicole is on its heels...

[Hyperstorm]

After noticing this feature since earlier today, I have decided to post a new thread concerning this for the benefit of the people that have not yet noticed that a new tropical/subtropical storm may be forming. It is moving toward the Northwest.

It certainly has 'the look'.

Bermuda needs to keep an eye on this. It may not become a hurricane but it could bring some gusty weather and rain.

Nicole is on the way hmm.. Will it make it to the NE US or is it expected to stay well out at sea..?

[Persepone]

Yeah. Let's hope...

I can see it now: an extratropical low over sable island, a cold front, and nicole it would be the storm of epic proportions.... it would be the perfect storm.

To me it looks frontal right now with some signs it may become subtropical or tropical in the next couple of days as it moves NW. Right now the target appears to be the Canadian Maritimes but New England especially upper Maine may see some of this too.
