Watching Gale Center in Atlantic

Posted by Jim Weber under Daily updates

The Tropical Atlantic continues very quiet and as we head into the final month of the hurricane season the activity is not expected to change. There are a couple of weak tropical waves moving towards the west but as has been the common theme all season westerly shear continues strong.

A close up view shows a low center, but this system is currently non-tropical (cold core). It is possible for this system to gain some sub-tropical characteristics over the next day or two. With the current location of this system and the models indicating its track to stay out over open waters the exact definition of this system is only a matter of symantecs as it will have no affect on any land.

The 12Z WRF model run over the Tropical Atlantic shows the ridge to the north of the low weakening early next week and allowing this low to move to the north.
