wxmx Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 There's some potential. Currently it's just a mostly inland area of low pressure, but it will drift SE with a developing upper level anticyclone. Slow organization next few days, then it might develop, but it's pretty rare to get a full tropical cyclone there (Hurricane Catalina 2004 is the only known case).

phil882 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Named STS Arani Sweet! The amount of deep convection is quite impressive for the South Atlantic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srain Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Sweet! The amount of deep convection is quite impressive for the South Atlantic! It appears to be riding along a Cold Front heading OTS. Enjoy it while it last. At least Brazil named it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Is this highly unusual to have a named storm this early in the south Atlantic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmx Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Is this highly unusual to have a named storm this early in the south Atlantic? It's late summer down there (equiv to mid Sept for the Northern Hemisphere). March is the relatively busiest month in the So Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's highly unusual to have a named storm ever in the South Atlantic. In fact, speaking of names... when did the naming start down there? I wasn't aware of any formal name list.

I wasn't aware of any formal name list. Nah, they're not that uncommon. North Atlantic-like STSs happen about every other year down there (Braun et al. in publication). It was only recently, after Katarina, that the Brazilians started naming them. There is no formal WMO-approved list, it's just whatever the Brazilians want to call them.

So an STS every other year and a TC once in a blue moon. Better than the SEPAC, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Lizard Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Nothing but a naked swirl... It looked good in Phil882's loop, although even there anticyclonic outflow seemed confined to the Northern part of the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
