98L LIMA

Shaped like a "lima" bean? Part of the larger "pod"?
A contraction I am unaware of, or perhaps just a slip of the proverbial ol' MeteoFrued.

Recon for today has been canceled.

Whatever the real nature of the fruit, it appears that the weak surface low center which has been trying to close off is now a good bit west of the mid level circ, which has been shunted off to the east of the surface low from the stronger than ideal mid to upper winds there. Late last night it appeared that these winds may have been relaxing some, allowing at least part of the region pop out something more of a lentil shape.

It would seem that even if an officiated subtropical or tropical cyclone does not form within the next one or two days, Bermuda will still see some inclement weather, with soaking rains and perhaps some gusty winds, so that the results will be similar, although perhaps not as intense.

Speaking of surface pressures, et al., it does look as if the entire basin is trending along with climatology, more or less.
