Re: For October Its Busy Out There

The non-tropical low in the far eastern Atlantic has now been tagged, 97L. Just picked up an ST 1.5 from SSD, which is not surprising. Initially, 97L was getting some T 1.5s on Wednesday, but has since shown to be more of a symmetrical, cold-core type hybrid. This feature has been drifting southwest, over progressively warmer waters, and remains in a relatively low shear environment.

Recent T numbers from SSD
DATE/TIME LAT LON CLASSIFICATION STORM
12/0600 UTC 28.7N 18.7W ST1.5/1.5 97L -- Atlantic Ocean
12/0545 UTC 30.2N 49.5W T1.5/1.5 15L -- Atlantic Ocean

Worth noting that post-eclipse 15L is running T2.5 from CIMSS ADT, with a Raw T of 3.0 (Shear scene type) and a center temp +10.6C.
