Re: Tropical Storm Gabrielle
|
This system is completely decoupled now with the mid-level vort and all the convection east of Puerto Rico and the weak surface vort sw of PR headed toward eastern DR... so it is definitely not a tropical storm. I question whether it should have been named in the first place given the lack of organization from the get-go.
It's a very odd hurricane season. We are at the peak of the season, but disturbances continue to struggle just to reach minimal tropical storm and remain there for more than a day.
