Moderators StretchCT Posted August 29, 2023 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2023 Franklin has set the record for the lowest pressure this far north in the Atlantic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StretchCT Posted August 29, 2023 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2023 24 hrs ago it was 82mph, now it's 147. Vortex and HDOBS Sondes show same story. Max wind now 170mph The buoy that it passed earlier had water temps of 82-84. And it deepened with just those temps. Idalia is hitting 90-91 degree water. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators StretchCT Posted August 31, 2023 Moderators Share Posted August 31, 2023 Definitely not as fast as Idalia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteorologist so_whats_happening Posted August 31, 2023 Meteorologist Share Posted August 31, 2023 This storm is crawling, so much so that Idalia is nearly the same latitude as Franklin. I honestly would have thought it would have been picked up by the trough by now but here we are still watching it around Bermuda. I wonder just how much the waters will get churned up by this system and I believe it definitely left a weakness in the W Atlantic which may allow for some interesting movements with Idalia.

Moderators StretchCT Posted September 4, 2023 Moderators Share Posted September 4, 2023 This is still Franklin, just off Portugal. It absorbed another system. That's Idalia heading to Canada, which just absorbed Gert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StretchCT Posted September 5, 2023 Moderators Share Posted September 5, 2023 Oh boy 3. Northeastern Atlantic (ex-Franklin): Post-Tropical Cyclone Franklin is located several hundred miles north of the Azores and is forecast to move quickly southeastward towards warmer waters east of the Azores. This system could acquire some subtropical or tropical characteristics late this week or this weekend while it moves erratically between the Azores and Portugal. For additional information on this system, including gale warnings, see High Seas Forecasts issued by Meteo France. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

Kinda wild to see systems not getting absorbed through flow and left meandering in the atlantic. Hopefully these two can grt absorbed but franklin is an interesting one. Caught off the coast there in a semi record warm atlantic still. Especially if we can get this cape verde storm to form the ace should push rather close to 100. If we can hold the mjo in a decent position too the end of the season wont be nearly as boring as folks expected, especially with a moderate to strong el nino out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
