HURRICANE VINCE DISCUSSION 5 PM EDTNOAA



VINCE IS STILL MOVING NORTHEASTWARD BUT NOT VERY FAST... ABOUT 045/5... SO IT COULD MAINTAIN HURRICANE INTENSITY FOR SEVERAL HOURS
WHILE ITS OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ENVIRONMENT CHANGES LITTLE. VINCE
IS THEN FORECAST TO WEAKEN GRADUALLY AS IT MOVES OVER EVEN COOLER
WATERS AND NORTHWESTERLY SHEAR RAMPS UP. A COLD FRONT IS SEVERAL
HUNDRED N MI NORTHWEST OF VINCE... AND AS THE FRONT CONTINUES ITS
EASTWARD MARCH ACROSS THE NORTHERN ATLANTIC... IT SHOULD PULL VINCE
NORTHEASTWARD AT A GRADUALLY INCREASING FORWARD SPEED. MOST OF THE
DYNAMICAL MODELS AGREE WITH THIS SCENARIO AND SUGGEST THAT VINCE
WILL BE ABSORBED BY THE FRONT IN ABOUT 36 HOURS... BUT IT COULD
TAKE A LITTLE LONGER FOR THE SMALL CIRCULATION OF VINCE TO
COMPLETELY LOSE ITS INDENTITY.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 75 MPH...120 KM/HR...WITH HIGHER
GUSTS. LITTLE CHANGE IN STRENGTH IS FORECAST TONIGHT... BUT VINCE
IS FORECAST TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN ON MONDAY.


This one is headed for Spain and poses no threat for America. One more name left and then we start using the Greek Alphabet.

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but "Hurricane Alpha" sounds kind of freaky

Maybe it'll be like it's name and stay in a beginning-type phase.

Good lord, a hurricane froming in this area has to be a very rare event. I don't know how much danger it poses to the main land though, as it will probably weaken pretty quickly as it moves over the cooler water in its path. This just shows that we can expect some pretty strange and rare events during this active hurricane period we have entered.

Mondo Bizarro Hurricane Vince Aims at Portugal and Spain

IF IT LOOKS LIKE A HURRICANE... IT PROBABLY IS... DESPITE ITS
ENVIRONMENT AND UNUSUAL LOCATION. NHC

'Very Odd' Vince Now A Hurricane
A hurricane center official said Vince is "a very odd one," because it is situated between the Azores and the Canary Islands in waters that are cooler than what is typically needed for a tropical storm.

Can't say I have ever seen anything like this system..

Reminds me of the Brazilian hurricane Catarina in regards to wierd tropical weather anomalies.

Hurricane Vince should merge with the cold front and dissipate before hitting Portugal,
but considering it's an anomalous storm this may not hold true.

11 PM Discussion Accu Weather



As of 11 p.m. EDT Sunday, Hurricane Vince was located near 34.5 north and 17.8 west, or about 125 miles north-northwest of the Madeira Islands. Vince is tracking toward the northeast at 7 mph and has sustained winds of 75 mph. Estimated minimum central pressure is 987 millibars or 29.15 inches.

I found this very interesting to say the least.



Hurricane Vince is a "Star Trek" storm, out of this world with its development and its boldly going where no storm has gone before. Actually a couple of storms (former hurricanes) have hit the Iberian peninsula, where this is headed Monday and Tuesday but not after developing near the Canary Island. This is a classic case of warm core system within a cooler environment, but it is over water that is under the normal threshold for storms. This simply limits the storm to how strong it can develop and its about there now, but a major threat to the areas further northeast and a big rainmaker for western europe.

Vince is another storm for the record books.

Vince is dissipating and I suspect Portugal likes that idea.

VINCE HAS BECOME RAPIDLY LESS ORGANIZED OVERNIGHT...AS A BLAST OF
NORTHWESTERLY SHEAR HAS OVERTAKEN THE CYCLONE. CONVECTION IS BEING
DISPLACED TO THE SOUTHEAST OF A PARTIALLY-EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL
CENTER...AND THE EYE HAS DISINTEGRATED....

....THE GFS...UKMET...AND NOGAPS ALL SHOW VINCE BECOMING
ABSORBED OR DISSIPATING WITHIN 24 HOURS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING
COLD FRONT...BUT VINCE COULD DEGENERATE TO A REMNANT LOW BEFORE
THEN. NHC

We can never say never...


It has been very clear by now that the most unexpected can happen... Of course, Vince will not make landfall as a hurricane... But we are having some strange weather... a TD from a hurricane, that´s very unusual...
