Meteorological Analysis
|
Nadine originated from an interaction between an upper level trough and a
tropical wave over the Atlantic. A trough was located across the Atlantic in mid
October, with the southern portion being over the Lesser Antilles. On October 16th a
low cut off within the trough and moved SW. The low interacted with a
tropical wave on the 17th. The 2 systems merged and began to organize while moving west.
On October 19th the system gained enough organization to be considered a
tropical depression, about 600 nm SE of Bermuda. The depression moved NE
through a weakness in the subtropical ridge and strengthened into tropical
storm Nadine on the 20th. Nadine continued to strengthen and reached its max
intensity of 60 mph with a pressure of 999 mb on the 21st. Heavy shear then
began to affect Nadine from an approaching front and Nadine weakened into
an extratropical low on the 22nd, Nadine became embedded in the approaching
front around the same time. Nadine was absorbed by a larger extratropical low
shortly afterwards.
