Particularly for the propensity to strengthen at landfall that's been the theme the last couple of years! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Particularly for the propensity to strengthen at landfall that's been the theme the last couple of years!The small low-level vorticity maximum that developed is what got this going. Given another day or two, yadda yadda, would have probably been a hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it given the southerly shear but it certainly could’ve been a 50 kt tropical storm in the next 6-10 hours. Very impressive structure on radar for a weak ts, even trying to wrap some bands upshear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is favorable upper level divergent shear in the exit region of a digging upper trough. Just saying it wasn't in an unfavorable location for continued strengthening. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Yea earlier today I was skeptical that this was worth being named, but you cant really argue with the radar imagery and obs. Pretty solid little TS, no ifs ands or buts about it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 What a weird day. Absolutely poured buckets this morning, 5" of rain from this girl, now it's pure sunshine and calm with a high in the low 80s and reasonable humidity levels. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
