You Are Not Hallucinating – Hurricane Leslie Headed Toward Spain And Africa

[ad_1]<div _ngcontent-c15 = "" innerhtml = "

You absolutely read the title correctly, I wrote about Hurricane Ophelia in 2017. Hurricane Leslie is currently heading to Africa and Europe. Tea "Toward" is the "weather weird" part of the statement because typically tropical systems & nbsp;have their origins in easterly waves that move "away" from the African continent. & nbsp; Leslie is a long-lasting storm that has drunkenly meandered around the Atlantic Ocean since September 23rd. I am writing this on October 12th. It has generated 15 Colorado State University expert Dr. Philip Klotzbach& nbsp; and & nbsp; certainly has some days left. I should also mention that a few post-tropical system, and those are not counted as part of the named record. You can certainly see why Hurricane Leslie has been called "zombie" storm.& Nbsp; What is my view? a statement issued by the National Hurricane Center:

A Tropical Storm Warning has been issued for Madeira Island in the Atlantic Ocean due to #Leslie. Tropical-storm-force winds are expected early Saturday morning.

If you look at Hurricane Leslie moving eastward (below), Africa and Europe are within view folks. That's weird.

Leslie's history. & Nbsp;Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski laid out a Timeline of Leslie on Accuweather's website. I have summarize his timeline:

1. Leslie initially formed a subtropical storm in the middle of the Atlantic.
2. Leslie becomes tropical on October 3rd.
3. Leslie Weakens to Tropical Storm on October 4th and remains at that level until October 9th.
4. Leslie becomes a hurricane on October 9th

Leslie, places like Portugal, Spain, and Morocco appear on the map. If you want to know just how do you think this is a social media post from my colleague Dr. Tom Gill at the University of Texas – El Paso. Tom wrote on his Facebook page,

From the weather weirding department: (Citing NOAA hurricane discussion at 5:00 AM AST) "a tropical storm warning has been issued for (Madeira)) island. It is the first known tropical storm in the world of record, within 100 miles of that island, with the closest being Vince of & nbsp; 2005." And there is a lonnnnnnnnnnnnng historical record in Madeira. Perhaps the first tropical cyclone to ever directly impact Madeira in its long history. Yep, the weather patterns are changing.

It gets even weirder. If you probe further into the National Hurricane Center, talk about landfall in Portugal or Spain. Other models loop the storm to the south and back west. The fact that I'm writing "landfall" and Iberian Peninsula in the same paragraph is just odd.

In 2017, Hurricane Ophelia was a freakish storm too. Ireland was actually in the forecast cone of uncertainty. At one point, Ophelia was targeting the Iberian Peninsula too. Kevin Loria documented in Business Insider Iberian Peninsula (1842 and 2005). The tropical depression "Formerly known as Hurricane Vince" was the most recent example. I pointed out in a 2017 Forbes piece about Hurricane Ophelia:

A 2013 study published in Geophysical Research Letters suggest that climate warming will bring more hurricanes to Europe. Atlantic tropical sea surface temperatures would extend eastward. This would provide a "Oil-laden" path for storms moving back to Europe. Typically such storms die or go through extratropical transition, however, the additional energy from warm waters "steroids" can provide an extra boost. Hurricane Ophelia has been in favor of Hurricane Ophelia.

I know, I know. Some corners of the Internet will probably have been a sample of storms that we did not have in history. I agree. However, in my scientific viewpoint, it is somewhat naive to completely dismiss that warming sea surface temperatures in the eastern Atlantic and is contributing to weather weirdos like Hurricanes Leslie and Ophelia. The current situation of sea surface temperature anomalies (differences from the climatological normal period 1981 to 2010) Atlantic right now.

Before I discuss how weird, it is useful to explore Leslie's history. Alex Sosnowski, Senior Meteorologist, is a lesbian, gay and lesbian. I have summarize his timeline:

1. Leslie initially formed a subtropical storm in the middle of the Atlantic.
2. Leslie becomes tropical on October 3rd.
3. Leslie Weakens to Tropical Storm on October 4th and remains at that level until October 9th.
