And the year just keeps on giving....about a 50% chance possibly named Kappa. Let’s hope it’s just a fish spinner!!

At present, AccuWeather meteorologists believe the chance of the non-storm evolving into a subtropical depression or subtropical storm between the Azores and the Canaries has increased to about 50%.

A subtropical system has both tropical and non-tropical characteristics. Subtropical systems may draw a considerable amount of dry air into their circulation and may be more spread out in nature, when compared to tropical systems and may have a poor structure overall.

The next name on the list of Greek letters being utilized this season is Kappa.

Is there a 2021 hurricane thread yet?

A cyclone east-northeast of Bermuda is expected to develop subtropical characteristics and move close to Bermuda during the weekend. The National Hurricane Center gives a 90% chance of subtropical storm formation. The storm is already producing winds of tropical storm force (>40 mph), and the Bermuda Weather Service has issued a Tropical Storm Watch for the island. Maximum winds associated with the storm are likely to stay in the 30-50 mph range, as a transition to a fully tropical cyclone is not expected.

Not a 2021 thread yet- that I’m aware of. Then again, I’m avoiding the whole topic these days- so what do I know!?
