See area of interest section below for an update on the broad frontal low pressure system east of Bermuda. It is quiet elsewhere in the Atlantic tropics.
AREA OF INTEREST #1...A lengthy upper trough extends north-south across the western Atlantic in the vicinity of 55W longitude. A 1214 dekameter height (at 200 mb) upper vortex is along this trough in the vicinity of 32.5N latitude whose eastern divergence yesterday generated a broad surface low pressure along the surface cold front of the upper trough. Due to the expansive nature of the longwave upper ridge over eastern North America...supported by the warm air advection ahead of Cristobal's remnant frontal cyclone...the upper trough and vortex have shifted eastward directly over the broad surface low which is now located at 32.5N-55W. The lack of divergence directly below the upper vortex center should prevent any additional strengthening and consolidation of the broad surface low which would be needed for subtropical cyclone formation...in fact the broad surface low is shown in the models to now weaken going forward under these conditions. Therefore I am (and also the National Hurricane Center is) lowering odds of subtropical cyclone formation to 0%. This is my final statement on this feature on this blog.
