Well... looks like the Azores extention of the subtropical ridge has overtaken the remnants of Harvey... finally.

As for the so-called remnants of Franklin, he's still taking it easy in northern Finland. Models quickly trough this low out as the subtropical ridge builds toward the Black Sea, thereby pushing the low formerly known as Franklin into the Barents Sea.

Believe it or not, (and this is probably stretching it a bit) but Franklin, which merged with a low last week, which then merged with the low labeled Isidor, is continuing to affect Scandinavia.


I believe you, I've been following it. I posted that in the virtual studio on Talkin' Tropics on Thursday so I'm sure someone can back me up. :lol:

Harvey disappeared off those charts a couple of days ago.

Wow! Franklin's still going? That's crazy. I guess Irene will be around for quite a while, also, since she's heading up that way.

When these storms move closer to Europe I assume they loose there tropical characteristics but are they still capable of the same damage.

They do yes. We can get some decent storms out of them occasionally, although this hasn't been the case so far this year. :(

These SSTs are really enough to support tropical systems. :lol: http://www.wetter-zentrale.de/pics/brack5.gif
