Subtropical Storm Sean Forms in the Atlantic
Hello to all..
The Atlantic Tropics are not finished yet. Subtropical Storm Sean has formed in the Atlantic midway between the Bahamas and Bermuda. Sean may transition to a tropical storm or remain a subtropical storm. Sean will track northwest and is expected to merge with a frontal system. At that point, Sean’s remnants may bring 2-3 inches of rainfall to Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
A subtropical storm is defined per the National Hurricane Center Web site as a subtropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind speed (using the U.S. 1-minute average) is 34 kt (39 mph or 63 km/hr) or more. A subtropical cyclone is defined as a non-frontal low pressure system that has characteristics of both tropical and extratropical cyclones. This system is typically an upper-level cold low with circulation extending to the surface layer and maximum sustained winds generally occurring at a radius of about 100 miles or more from the center. In comparison to tropical cyclones, such systems have a relatively broad zone of maximum winds that is located farther from the center, and typically have a less symmetric wind field and distribution of convection.

The VoIP Hurricane Net management team will closely monitor the progress of Sean and the rest of the Tropics. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
