I'd want to see winds at 850mb at least 90-100 knots to be even mildly impressed. That is a weak to moderate nor' easter essentially depicted on the Euro.

 

Agreed.

 

For the general reader:  Euro is not a tropical system. It clearly cuts 500mb dynamics as transient ridge rolls over top, and those immediately charge a surface response that I also think might be over done on the D5 chart.  

 

Also, the CMC tries to seclude a warm air mass near the center and then plays around with the separate realms between baroclinic and barotropic physics -- sort of non-committal in hyberdizing the system.  The CMC's known lustiness with TC is probably ...clouding it's judgement for lack of better pun.   Usually, systems that originate N and then take on sub-tropical characteristics takes while.  The CMC attempts that in about 6 hours.   That's probably why it succeeds in stem-winding the core down to a purer TC look as it nears LI.   Not sure I buy that ... we'll see.

Yep, there are some similarities between the synoptic setups. Having been around for the Sandy landfall, it was not quite tropical as one might expect. More like a hurricane embedded inside a cold-core circulation.

 

Yeah I'm not arguing Sandy was purely tropical, just that it doesn't seem terribly out of the ordinary for something with tropical characteristics to be in play this time of year.

Euro is nothing tropical, just a low with maybe some subtropical characteristics. I see no signs of anything warm core at 850 and esp 700mb where it counts.

 

Yeah 12z isn't at all... the 00z did develop a mini warm pocket at 700mb while over the Gulf Stream but all I see is a weakening occlusion/cut-off that sort of meanders near SNE.

 

Intriguing but that's just about it. Pretty lame looking storm.

warm core or not it looks like it would be a good rain maker

 

I don't think so actually... all the advective process seem to shut down post-occlusion and you just get a period of crappy wx Sunday night and Monday. 

 

It develops a pocket of higher 1000-500mb thickness over the center of the cyclone so it would probably be subtropical/hybrid in nature. Meh.

my guess is euro would be hybrid and classified as sub-tropical by NHC. 

 

verbatim, that's a bit more interesting than this morning's run as the system intensifies a bit more. would probably be a decent coastal relative to the calendar.

 

It's fun to watch how it develops it... the s/w over Iowa is the one that winds up blossoming. Seems like it would reach peak strength offshore before filling. Seems like max amplitude is when the cut-off low forms on the western side of developing omega block. 

 

Weird setup but not impossible.

yeah you end up with a mix of processes going on this time of year. if it were a couple of weeks later in the season, it would probably be a worse set-up as there'd likely be higher ambient pressures over NE and slightly stronger energy coming across the country...but essentially the same water temps....so you'd end up with a nastier hybrid i think.

 

this is probably gales from Hatteras to ACK or whatnot...but that's about all...as currently modeled at least.

 

i feel like It would have to sit and stew longer to the south as a fully tropical entity for it to be more interesting.

NB as you wanted though, obviously not modeled 100 % correct and certainly interesting.
