Hybrid/Subtropical Storm

It looks like the system over the Southern Gulf will have a ton of shear to fight off to form. In most case it may become a Subtropical Storm but a Tropical System also can't be ruled out. For a Tropical System to form a bunch of things must go right and this system doesn't have much more time before them 40-50kt Upper-Level winds kick in.

Let me ask you something, Hybrid and Subtropical are not the same thing?
I think they mean the same.

I am just as baffled as you are Sandy.

That is how I was reffering to it! I meant it as Hybrid/Subtropical Storm as synonyms.

I am pretty sure that Subtropical means no front/no warm core, and Hybrid is front/no warm core/ decent convection. I think that that is what it is, so this would be subtropical... if anything.

Hybrid/Subtropical is one in the same. Same definition, they both have some sorta of a warm core, can have frontal features and upper level lows or upper level troughs aloft.

Hybrid systems are frontal in nature but may be warm core with some convection near the center. Subtropical systems are non frontal and generally warm core..but the strongest winds are far away from the center rather than near it..as is most of the convection. Subtropcal cyclones may have a larger wind field than "pure "tropical cyclones, making them every bit as dangerous.
