Re: Is the Offshore Storm Subtropical?

Clark spelled it out correctly with his take on this. Also this storm couldnt vent intself. Tropical systems need a outflow...and its been vertically staked. 500mb and 850 is Baroclinic still. Its kinda like needing help breathing. It just cant do it unless it gets rid of the mid cyclone....and thats still there. Still there is a chance there could be a subtropical cyclone in the morning after recon checks it out. Winds are there.. center is there..but is it worth a name??? Well if it was moving away from land...probably not...but since its close and will bring coastal flooding and pressure of 1003-1005mb by Thurs morning landfall near St Aug-Fl/GA boarder they might go ahead with it.
It should move SW thru florida into central florida as it feels the ridge over the NE gulf.
