First Day of 2009 Season - 92L

Here is a nice mid-day, "Visible" look at Invest 92L, which was drifting northeast near the Azores on June 1, 2009, the official start of the 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season. (Click "Attachment" to view)


The most recent QUIKSCAT pass shows a large area of 30 knot winds within the reasonably symmetrical cyclone. (Time sensitive)

92L is starting to pass over progressively cooler waters, and has been trending less and less spherical. Nonetheless, current estimates are that 92L is down around 1001mb with maximum sustained winds of about 35 knots, per Navy guidance, and per NHC has a "Low" chance of becoming a subtropical storm.

A neat, little, not-so-little feature, kicking off Day 1.

More information on 92L is available from NHC here.
