  1. I do not have a track for this system, but I wanted to include a
  2. few brief comments by way of documenting an interesting eastern
  3. Atlantic low-pressure system in early February. A 1045 UTC visible
  4. image made on the morning of 1 February depicts a LOW to the west-
  5. southwest of the Canary Islands. The system was characterized by
  6. convection which had wrapped around the low-level center, and some of
  7. the models had analyzed the system as symmetric warm core on the
  8. preceding day. According to Sheldon Kusselson of the Satellite
  9. Analysis Branch, precipitable water values near the center were running
  10. about 150 to 175% of normal--very unusual for that location at that
  11. time of year. NHC considered opening an invest on the system, but the
  12. convection soon became sheared so no invest was opened.
  13.  
  14. After the weakening LOW had become sheared and moved to the north of
  15. the Canary Islands, Julian Heming of the UK Met. Office noted that its
  16. appearance was similar to Hurricane Vince of 2005 after it had become
  17. sheared and weakened. Julian reported on 2 February that on the
  18. previous day he had noted a couple of 35-kt wind barbs in ASCAT data.
  19.  
  20. On 4 February, as the LOW was approaching the Straits of Gibraltar
  21. area, convection made a comeback and an image at 04/1945 UTC depicts
  22. a sort of "eye-like feature". A weather station at Gibraltar reported
  23. 64 mm of rain from 04/0000 to 04/0600 UTC.
  24.  
  25. According to Jack Beven of NHC, there are no formal plans to add
  26. this system as an unnamed subtropical storm. Jack indicated that there
  27. appeared to be a frontal structure connected with the system when it
  28. looked at its convective best on 1 February.
